MBS( "Socket.SetReceiveBufferSize"; SocketID; Size ) 

**MBS**( **"Socket.SetReceiveBufferSize";** /\* Sets receive buffer size. \*/  
**$SocketID**; /\* The socket ID received by [Socket.Connect](SocketConnect.md) function.e.g. $sock \*/   
**$Size**) /\* The new buffer size to use.e.g. 256 \* 1024 \*/ 

### Parameters

| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| SocketID | The socket ID received by [Socket.Connect](SocketConnect.md) function. | $sock |
| Size | The new buffer size to use. | 256 \* 1024 |

### Result

Returns OK or error.

### Description

Sets receive buffer size.  
You may not need to change this ever.  
If you don't read fast enough, data flow will go slower to have the buffer work.  
### Examples

Test setting buffer size value:

 Set Variable \[ $sock ; Value: MBS ("[Socket.NewTCPSocket](SocketNewTCPSocket.md)") \]   
\#   
Set Variable \[ $defaultValue ; Value: MBS ("[Socket.GetReceiveBufferSize](SocketGetReceiveBufferSize.md)"; $sock ) \]   
Set Variable \[ $v ; Value: MBS ("Socket.SetReceiveBufferSize"; $sock ; 1024 \* 256) \]   
Set Variable \[ $newValue ; Value: MBS ("[Socket.GetReceiveBufferSize](SocketGetReceiveBufferSize.md)"; $sock ) \]   
Show Custom Dialog \[ "Default: " & $defaultValue & ¶ & "Set to: " & $newValue \]   
\#   
Set Variable \[ $r ; Value: MBS ("[Socket.Close](SocketClose.md)"; $sock ) \]
