Hello,

What is the default value of SIZE in EXTERNAL POOL in filesystem policy?

The document did not mention that, but I found it is not infinity if not
specified.

Thank you!

SIZE sum-number
      Is an optional clause of the EXTERNAL POOL and EXTERNAL LIST rules.
      sum-number limits the total number of bytes in all of the files named
      in each list of files passed to your EXEC 'script'. If a single file
      is larger than sum-number, it is passed to your EXEC 'script' as the
      only entry in a “singleton” file list.


      Specify sum-number as a numeric constant or a floating-point value.


                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                             
             Note: The value of sum-number is in kilobytes.
