Tom,
I guess I am echoing various other responses, but here's my 2c anyway:

For some strange reason, the DICT of each Part File needed to contain
copies of the I-Types from the Distributed File's DICT in order for
CREATE.INDEX to work correctly.
Next question... To avoid having to copy DICT items to all the Part Files
each time a change is made, I updated the VOC
Sorry, forgot to mention: UniVerse 9.5 on AIX 4.3.2

Except it's not a strange reason. The whole point of a distributed file
is that any part of the file can be treated as a file in its own right,
so it needs its own dictionary.
And given that MV makes no distinction between data and dict portions at
the structural level (and all that jazz),
What's the exact command that places parenthesis around a negative number?

But if you're doing it for accounting reasons, that's the convention.
You use parentheses INSTEAD OF as negative sign. It makes it stick out
because on the rhs the parens stands out in a column of its own.

Gentlemen,
I was having a walk-around this Unidata system. I noticed that some of the files are
approaching 2 gb and a couple of files are over 2 gb. Is there a future problem
looming.
What is the 2 gig limits mentioned in some of the email's?

I did not originally notice the OP stated they were a Unidata platform. My distributed
file comments were related to UniVerse. However, when designing a UniVerse distributed
file, it is wise to pick the number of part files that will keep each part file size

If the file is corrupt, you need the file repaired, then distributed.

The 2GB file size limit is a traditional Unix-based operating system limit.
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?
Thanks,

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
You can make larger files, but U2 cannot address them, unless you enable

The limit is an old one from Unix having 32-bit addressing. On a system with
32-bit addressing, the limit applied to all files, including backup images

Hi Dan,
We can use filepeek quite happily on our 64bit files. Do you mean
uvfixfile? I know that has restrictions and cannot be used on 64bit
files. The parameter in the uvconfig file is 64BIT. If this is set to 1,
all files are created by default as 64bit files.
