Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

> ## Stash Area (-stsh)

> Use Stash Area (`-stsh`) to specify the number of 1KB blocks to allocate to the stash area, which Progress uses as temporary storage for modified index fields.

> Operating system and syntax | UNIX Windows | `-stsh` `n`
> Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Single-user default | Multi-user default
> Client Session | 31 | 1 | 2 | 2

> ``n``

> The number of 1KB blocks for the stash area.

> The default size is sufficient for most index fields, but large character fields with a word index might require more space.

> You can calculate an appropriate stash size by taking the size in bytes of the largest field with a word index, doubling that value, and adding 1KB. For example, if the largest word indexed field is 2,000 characters long, set `-stsh` to 5 to create a stash area of 5KB. If you do not allocate enough space, Progress terminates with a fatal error. If this occurs, restart Progress with a larger stash area.
