The recommended default file for counter structures is file 5 of the data
table. This file accommodates up to 256 counter structures. If your
application requires more than 256 counter structures, specify one or more
files (10 – 255) in the user-defined area of the data table in addition to
file 5.
Each counter structure consists of three words. You can address a counter
structure in its entirety or you can address any particular member of a
structure individually.
