Otherwise, when using a standard library, the library’s internal directory is loaded into memory. The directory is used to access the r-code files stored in the library. This parameter slows the library’s speed of access but increases available memory. If you specify -plm with memory-mapped libraries, Progress ignores it. For more information on r-code libraries, see OpenEdge Deployment: Managing 4GL Applications and OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Handbook .
