The value of zero indicates that DBCHCL is to use the default value from the HSHSPB for the Request Buffer Length.

The application may change the value in Request Buffer Length. The minimum value is 256, and the maximum value is 2147483647.

When less than the maximum is specified, CLIv2 increases the size of the request buffer as needed.

Note: The maximum size request that can be specified for the Initiate Request function is 10, 12, or 24 bytes less than this buffer size, depending on support by the server. These bytes are used by CLIv2 to add a parcel header and a Respond‑type parcel.
