VSAM - Maximum Storage Capacity

Post by bsjohn » Wed Oct 25, 2006 5:08 am

I want to define a VSAM file with record size 5000 byte to hold about 60 million records. Is this do-able? How is the storage determined?

VSAM SPACE LIMITATION

Post by Krishna » Thu Oct 26, 2006 6:40 pm

Hi John,

There is a limitation of space (4 GB) after which we cannot dump data into a VSAM file.
There might be some options available to cross this limit.


Thanks,
Krishna.
