When you use the DMEM command transit, remember the following:
This means that the counts and the free chain contents are maintained across DBCC restarts.
This means that the MIN column is not significant.
Blocks are placed on the free chain when released if the sum of #FRE plus ALOC is less than MAX.
All storage used by CLI is shared storage and is not accounted for under the TCA of the requesting application.
Therefore, large numbers for MAX can result in virtual storage impact below the line.
The response buffers for AMODE 24 applications may be below the line.
For these, use of the free chain will be bypassed, but the DMEM counter will be updated.
