Increasing Java maxHeapSize programatically in a xs script [message #559846]

Champs,
I have a xs script that inherits the Icmd interface. It is a memory intensive script and requires more than 64M of heap space and I get the OutOfMemory error.
I would like to know if there is a programmatic way of increasing the Java Max heap size (equivalent on -Xmx option) in my script. I want to avoid having to change Java Control panel settings to change max heap size on every new machine I run the script.
I have gone thru the archives where MK_BLDOPTS is mentioned as way to increase the max heap size. However, this env variable is not defined in the package.mak generated for my package. Does xdc provide any interface to control java maxHeapSize at script launch time?
I have reproduced my screen output below:

D:\git_rep\ti\omx\omxutils\eventParse>xs ti.omx.omxutils.eventParse D:\Temp\profile_25thJun_1080i\vid_event.bin
Java Base:D:\tools_wtbu_base_omx\xdctools_3_20_01_51
Max memory = 63.5625
cmdr = xdc.tools.Cmdr.Instance#0 {
context = 0 {
}

tid = 0
socket = null
}

args = []#0 {
0 = D:\Temp\profile_25thJun_1080i\vid_event.bin
}

Regards
Badri

Badri,
MK_BLDOPTS is defined in a makefile included by package.mak. Have you tried setting it?

I searched for string MK_BLDOPTS is all files under the package base folder and subfolders but couldnt find it.

It's in xdc_rules.mak in <XDCtools>/packages/xdc/bld.

Sasha,
Setting the MK_BLDOPTS also doesnt help since this affects only the max memory allocated to package.bld script. However looking at the xdc_rules.mak I was able to figure out how to increase the max memory allocated for my script. I am summarizing below:

My xs script was launched as:
xs ti.omx.omxutils.eventParse <arg1>

To set max memory when executing Main.xs of this package (metaonly module Main inherits xdc.tools.ICmd)
, cmd line invocation should be modified as below:

xs --Xmx512m ti.omx.omxutils.eventParse <arg1>

Thank you for your help
