Parameters

type

Type of units to use. Must be one of BYTES , KBYTES , MBYTES , or GBYTES .

Description

By default, units of KBYTES (1024 bytes) are used when specifying values for byte-count valued fields such as message quotas. To select a unit of measure other than KBYTES , use the SET STORAGE_UNITS command. BYTES selects bytes, KBYTES selects 1024 bytes, MBYTES selects 1024 KBYTES , and GBYTES selects 1024 MBYTES . After issuing a SET STORAGE_UNITS command, all byte-count valued numbers input on the command line will be interpreted as being measured in the newly selected units. Note that displayed values are displayed in the units called for by the formatting template used to generate the display. For example, to use units of megabytes, specify
