Problem: The File Handler Configuration File correctly specifies FILEMAXSIZE=8 and IDXFORMAT=8, but 4 Gb files cannot be created. Even though the correct settings seem to be specified in the file handler configuration file, files of size 4 gig cannot be created. Resolution: In order to create indexed files of size 4 GB or larger, the settings in the file handler configuration file must be specified correctly. These settings are: FILEMAXSIZE=8 IDXFORMAT=8 Note: When modifying this file, take care to preserve the case and the spelling. By default the file handler configuration file is named "extfh.cfg" and the system expects to find this file in the current directory. As an alternative, the full path location, and the name of the configuration file can be specified using the EXTFH environment variable. Within the File Handler Configuration File, tags within square brackets are used to indicate which data files are affected by which configuration settings. The tag [XFH-DEFAULT] means all data files. For complete information, consult the Server Express documentation (available on the Micro Focus web site), in the book named File Handling, in Chapter 6, File Handler Configuration. The problem is caused by a syntax error in the configuration file, in the spelling of the [XFH-DEFAULT] tag. For example, if it is accidentally spelled [XFH=DEFAULT] (that is, with an "=" character instead of a "-" character), it won't be recognized. The [XFH-DEFAULT] section should be spelled as follows in order to create 4 Gb files: [XFH-DEFAULT] FILEMAXSIZE=8 IDXFORMAT=8
