We have used both distributed file and 64 bit file on various systems. The only issues that we encountered are
1. For the 64 bit file, on a retrieve statement, it seems to have a very big impact on overall system performance, particularly in memory. 2. For the distributed file, you must create the indices on all the part-files. You can use the access statement to select items based on the index field. However, if you use BSCAN to select all items matching a particular index, you will need to run BSCAN on each part-file.

Any issues you have with them? Do they impact system performance? Which would you prefer, a distributed file or a 64-Bit file to get around the 2 gig limit.
