Maximum file size on AS/400

Hello,

I am reading a *SRC file using the java.io.File and 
java.io.FileInputStream. I am reading files up to 1.5 GB without any 
problems. However, files of 2 GB or higher do not get past the exist() 
check. The code is quite simple:


String fileName = '/qsys.lib/MYLIB.lib/MYFILE.file/MYFILE.mbr';
File file = new File(fileName);
 
if (!file.exists()) {  // File does not pass this check
        throw new LPException("File does not exist.");
} 

Anyone have an idea what is causing this limitation and how to resolve it?

Thanks.
