Use Hardlimit (-hardlimit) to force Progress to adhere to the set limits for Directory Size (-D), Local Buffer Size (-l), Maximum Memory (-mmax), and Nested Blocks (-nb). These startup parameters are by default soft limits; that is, Progress tries to manage system resources within the limits given, but when it cannot, Progress increases the exceeded limit.

When -hardlimit is specified and one of the limits is exceeded, Progress generates a WARNING message that is written to the current output (if there is current output) and to the log file (LG). In addition, Progress issues a message that a resource limit was reached and raises an untrappable STOP condition.
