Yes, it is done within MUMPS. It has been a few years since I've used
ISM as I use Cache now, so I can't remember the exact commands. They
should be the same as the old Cache commands. I believe the commands
are the following: In the manager's UCI, D ^MSU and type ?L at the
prompt. This should give you a listing of everything. The column
that you want to change is labeled something like "Max #". Type in
the name of the database and then change this column to a larger
number and there should be more free space in that database.
I hope this helps! :-)
