look up ulimit in UNIX using your DataStage userid and see what the limits are; you can also search this forum using ulimit to get a number of posts along a similar vein. You might have a soft or a hard limit on file sizes, this is the most likely cause as DataStage Px and Server limits on file output depend mainly on those restrictions imposed by the OS.

Each logical file in a File Set or persistent Data Set can be up to 2GB, so it's not that.

dsedi,

you are welcome - but could you post what the problem really turned out to be and how you solved it? That will make the search functionality work much better for anyone with the same or a similar problem.

Thanks and I am sorry for that ArndW!

As you suggested, we found the ulimit is low and with the help of our UNIX admin we set the Ulimit file(blocks) size as unlimit to run the JOb.

Thanks again!
