Parameter documentation

The SCSA is a shared memory area that is used by basis components such as system log, trace, and so on. Depending on the operating system, the Shared Common System Area is created either as a standalone shared memory area, or as area no. 5 on the SAP IPC interface. A suitable address is usually assigned by the operating system. However, some operating system versions do not leave enough free space for malloc(). In these cases, you can use this parameter to request a higher address.
