CFF Record

[Andet]

Is there a maximum record size for CFF or sequential flat files? I haven't been ablt to find anything on record sized, just file sizes...

thanks,

There is no limit on the size of the sequential file. You should be careful about the 'ulimit'. If you are dealing with a large sequential file, its always better to set the file size in 'ulimit' to 'Unlimited'

My question concerned record size, not file size.
IE Would there be any problem processing a CFF record(COBOL) greater than 160500 bytes?

Thanks,

Hi
Even I did also got same type of file with record size 160446 bytes.
So I wonder will there be any problem while importing such kind of file or will there be any environment variable I need to include while importing.

If suppose any body has the information please share with us.

I appreciate your time.

Since you have the data, why don't you just try to read & write it? You won't have any issues with record lengths of 160Kb!

Hi

I tried it to import that file and it is failing saying that

main_program: Fatal Error: unknown block format [datamgr/datamgr.C:759]


There are some decimal fields in it and I am getting like

main_program: Fatal Error: Not a v1.1 type: decimal[4,0] [api/schema/schema.C:3869]



and also I am getting

ImportSP,0: Fatal Error: File data set, file "{0}".; output of "ImportSP": the record is too big to fit in a block; the length requested is: 160422. [api/dataset_rep1.C:3133]

Any suggestions on these errors ??
Thanks.

In the Administrator, set the option APT_AUTO_TRANSPORT_BLOCK_SIZE
to false.
