ALLOWABLE SIZE
If the size of a program calculated according to the formula below
exceeds the maximum allowable memory size set in parameter No.
14795, the program cannot be handled on MANUAL GUIDE i.
Calculated size = (18 bytes)×(total number of blocks)+((number of
program characters)×1.1)
A program larger than the maximum allowable size is handled as
described below.

screen
