Most probably 2^31-1 as LabVIEW uses internally all 32 bit integer values for such things. Of course seeing that a record would usually use several 10 or more bytes at least this amounts to a single file wich could easily fill up even the biggest HDs nowadays. And so I think you could rather get in trouble if the file as total gets close to 2GB or 4GB. Using that big single files however does not seem like a good idea at all anyhow, as the chance of file corruption it directly correlated to its size.
