It would have to be a 64bit file, there are no exceptions as this is a limitation brought on by the size of a number. (I think a couple of earlier posters had the numbers involved) therefore you literally cannot create a file larger than 2Gb with 32 bit addressing.
We have a substantial number of files over 2Gb and haven't had any issue with converting to or using 64bit files. If you expect a file to be > 2Gb then just CREATE.FILE FILE.NAME type modulo separation OTHER.PARAMS 64BIT or if it is an existing file RESIZE FILE.NAME new.type new.module new.separation 64BIT will convert it in a trice (or two).

The 2GB file limit appies to *all* files, UniVerse or not. Then maybe I missed something in an earlier post. What is a general suggestion if we expect any sort of file to be larger than 2 gigs?
