the record is too big to fit in a block

Post by rajeshknl »

Hi i am trying to read from a sequential file and i am getting the below error.

Sequential_File_0,0: Fatal Error: Virtual data set.; output of "Sequential_File_0": the record is too big to fit in a block; the length requested is: 327584, the max block length is: 131072.

Do i need to change any environmental variables?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes. Look in the manual - search for BLOCK.
