  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PCSKDB453 error running large PCOMM     *
  *                      macros after installing 5.9.5 level.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  PCOMM macros greater than 32K will not run on 5.9.5 or later
  due to the macro file size check that was added. This gives
  the user a PCSKDB453 error message.
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSKDB.DLL has been changed to add a new keyword to allow older
  large PCOMM macros to run as they did prior to 5.9.5 level.
  
  The MacroSizeCheck keyword goes in the PCSWIN.INI file under
  the [Session] stanza. The default value is YES.
  
  Possible values are
  Y - Check the macro file size (not to exceed 32k)
  N - Do not check the size of the macro
  
  Example:
  [Session]
  MacroSizeCheck=N
  
  Fix is scheduled for PCOM 5.9.7 Manufacturing Refresh
  Fix is scheduled for PCOM 6.0.1 Manufacturing Refresh
