Prism Program Capacities PDF

The following alphabetical list indicates the maximums allowed for various files, documents, and settings in Prism. In the current version of Prism, many of the program capacities from RIL (or RP9) carry over to Prism; however, there are some differences. The following table lists RIL and Prism capacities for some data types side-by-side for easy comparison.
