Factors to Be Used in Sizing Memory Requirements

Before you start the estimate, calculate factors to be used in calculating the estimate.

Table 249 lists sizing factors with references to sections in this chapter and other chapters that provide information to determine these sizes. Go to the section indicated, perform the calculation, and return to Table 249. Write the size, in bytes, in the Value column this worksheet.

Later in this chapter, you can refer to Table 249 for values to use in various calculations.
