The limitation is set by your operating system / filesystem, not by DataStage. A 200 MB file should not be a problem on any current operating system, but if your filesystem does not have that much free space, your job will abort.

Define what 'transfer' means in this context and how exactly it failed.

Yesterday I wrote a sequential file 13,193,827,815 bytes in size using the Sequential File stage.

Did you run out of disk space?

The only limit I'm aware of is the operating system limit (whatever that is; 2GB on some, 1TB on some, 19 million TB (theoretically) on some).
