I would not be too hasty about that. We sometimes have MVS jobs that return 10s of millions of lines to VM so that we can use Pipelines to filter the results, adjusting the filter as we go. The largest single file was over 128,000,000 lines. Does that qualify as huge? We did exceed this with an early z/TPF dump; however, the TPF folks found ways to drastically reduce the dumps before we went live with z, so that was a one-time thing.
