Let me re-phrase my question.
Does anyone know if the following option is available in the tar command on
VMS?
-L InputList
The Inputlist argument to the -L option should always be the
name of the file that lists the files and directories
that need to be archived or extracted.
Because VMS also has a limit of 2 gigs on a file size, so if you can limit
the files that are a part of a "tar file set" you can limit the size of the
tar file that is created and thus avoid the 2 gig limit on the tar file as
well. You just make multiple "tar file sets", all of which are less than 2
gigs and you should be able to migrate any size database.
I just don't know if the -L option is available on a VMS system
Also does any one know if a NFS mount is available on a VMS system?
Thanks for your help.

Tom,
In AIX 5.1, tar won't work on files larger than 2 GB:
"The tar command is not enabled for files greater than 2 Gig in size due to
limitations imposed by XPG/4 and POSIX.2 standards...."
>From the AIX 5.1 Command Reference manual...
Regards,
Bob Wyatt
We are migrating to AIX 5.1 with UniData 7.1.8 We seem to be having
problems trying to tar large files within large directories.
Thanks for any help
