STACK Statement
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Resets the size of the stack.


 Syntax



  STACK   longinteger&

 Remarks


 The default stack size is 3K for DOS and 3.5K for OS-2. The minimum stack
 size

 (if  longinteger& is 0) is 0.325K for DOS and 0.825K for OS-2.

 The argument  longinteger& is the number of bytes to reserve for the stack.
 If  longinteger& is omitted, the stack is reset to its default size. If you
 request a stack space that is too large, the  STACK statement allocates as
 much stack space as possible.

 The  STACK statement is useful in programs that contain recursion and lots
 of nesting of sub and function procedures.

 The  STACK statement is allowed only at the module level.

 The  STACK function can be used with the stack statement to set the stack to
 the maximum possible size. For example.
