Just getting back to this (sorry, been busy).

I think this might have more to do with how the product in question (z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition) generates the file versus the size. If I do a wordcount on the file it shows no newlines.  Then if I run an awk command against the file, it (I assume) also sees no newlines and hits it's line-length limit.  If I run an iconv on the file to convert it to IBM-1047 code page and try to browse the file, I get something that says "line longer than 32752" or something like that.    If I do a wc on one of the .xml files for zCEE, it does indeed show >0 newlines.   To me, this should be APARable.

-bash-4.3# wc trace_large.log

      0   36497 20971432    trace_large.log

-bash-4.3#  awk ' { if ( length > x ) { x = length } }END{ print x }' trace_large.log

awk: line 0 (NR=0): FSUM9393 line too long: limit 20000

-bash-4.3#

Use of a desktop editor + ftp, in this case, is simply expedient.

Just ftp to desktop with an editor like Ultra edit.

Would IBM recommend that if one of their products has a bug
you simply use one from a competitor?

It is annoying that the 3.17 has weird limitations for file sizes.

Is the size limit peculiar to 3.17 or a fundamental limit of ISPF Edit?

How big is the OP's file?

ISPF Edit and XEDIT appear to be RECFM=V-ignorant.  They
appear to convert to Fixed on input and back to V on Save,
corrupting trailing blanks in the round-trip.

Does Edit translate the entire file on input, and translate it back
on Save, or does it translate only as needed for display?

(Good questions for ISPF-L.)
