Memory Allocation
The memory allocation program determines how memory is divided to support the following features:
NOTE: Using the clerk interrupt feature requires allocation of at least 2 guest checks and sufficient
soft check lines to support the interrupted transaction (i.e. if 20 soft check lines are allocated, a
transaction with up to 20 lines can be interrupted.) See system option flag # 26 to select clerk interrupt
operations instead of table management (check tracking) operations.

Before beginning the memory allocation program, you may wish to complete the following memory
