Re: Space limit for SMF datasets?

TeD,
AFAIK standard VSAM limit is 4GB (or 4GiB for purists).

You're right.
Having been out of direct involvement for awhile.
After being downsized and then moving to an outsourcer's customer, I forgot.

IBM did the no-brainer of using all the bits in a word to double the maximum size of a non-EF VSAM file 'overnight'.
This changed it from 2 to 4 GB by using all 32 bits.

I forget when they did it.

I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in!
