Re: XML-INTO file size limit

I had a post in 2012 (but can't find now) in reading very large xml and after some discussion with (i think) Barbara Morris at IBM
it was determined the xml into was not going to work.
I did write the whole process using Scott Klement's port of Expat parser and RPGLE.

We were processing 10 to 60 Gb files (yearly exports of transactions from a unix system, going back 15 years).
It's all worked out & still running.

Subject: Re: XML-INTO file size limit

The only limit I'm aware of is the 2 TB limit of a single IFS file. If
you're certain that the problem is due to the file size (splitting it in
half could affect many things aside from purely the file size -- so more
research is needed before simply assuming this) then I would file a PMR
with IBM.

XML-INTO (using %Handler of course)? We have a 1.2GB file that
appears to work only if we split it in half.
