Receive file size limit

2009-10-12 Thread Mark Pace
I'm trying to receive a really large file.  The transmit file is 2,876
cylinders, when I try to receive the file I always abend with

receive
indsname('MKARLSB.BJC.SMFRAW09')

 INMR901I Dataset TS58260.BJC.SMF from TS58260 on
BASLMO
 INMR906A Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END'

 INMR031I Register 15 value at ABEND was

I've tried 1 large extent and multiple smaller extents.

The volume I'm writing to is an empty 3390-9, so there is plenty of space.
It would appear that receive will not create a dataset larger than 4369
cylinders (65535 tracks).

Can someone confirm that this is a RECEIVE command limitation, or am I just
doing something wrong?

Have you tried preallocating the target data set?

But, is this a PDS?  In that case, I'd expect RECEIVE to allocate a
temporary data set to pass to IEBCOPY, and the problem might occur
there.

If you control both ends of the process, might AMATERSE be an
alternative?

It's an OS limitation.
Non-EF sequential files are limited to 65535 tracks.

This looks like a sequential file being transmitted, so use a STORCLAS
and/or DATACLAS that specifies the EXTENDED attribute in addition to
SPACE (leave off the VOLUME, SMS will take care of that).  Sequential
files larger than 4G need to have the EXTENDED attribute and be in SMS
space.

Re: Receive file size limit

2009-10-12 Thread Ulrich Krueger
Mark,
What's the size of the original dataset, how many cylinders did it occupy? 
Or might it have come from tape?

Have you tried to allocate the output file as multi-volume?
e.g.
space(4369,500) cylinders dsname('fred.BJC.SMFRAW03')
volume(msmpe2, xx)   ===

Failing all that, have you tried to set up a batch job to restore this file
to tape?
Something like
//TAPEDD DD DSN=...,UNIT=TAPE,... === whatever you need to create a valid
tape in your shop
RECEIVE INDS(...) OUTDD(TAPEDD)   === double-check the command parameters


HTH
Regards,
Ulrich Krueger

Strange since xmit does not compress data AFAIK. You could try to set a 
blocksize in case you are getting an unblocked output file. You could then try 
to pre-allocate a larger extended sequential dataset or multi-volume 
non-extended sequential to get something larger than 4,369 cylinders (per 
volume). If the original source was a pds, it should be smaller than 4,369 
cylinders.

John

Thanks, Peter, and others.
I did a preallocate of a 5000 cylinder dataset with a Dataclass containing
the Extend attribute. Worked like a charm.
