The recommended default file for timer structures is file 4 of the data table.
This file accommodates up to 256 timer structures. If your application
requires more than 256 timer structures, specify one or more files (10 –
255) in the user-defined area of the data table in addition to file 4.
Each timer structure consists of three words. You can address a timer
structure in its entirety or you can address any particular member of a
structure individually.
