Re: CPA4072 - Maximum records for spooled file

We do this with some reports, particularly the transaction registers
(which we run as part of the backup routine) and recently purchase
orders since users have a habit of printing out all of the POs from the
beginning of time.

I tried doing the same thing by setting max records to the limit but
from my experience *nomax is the way to go.

Do you change MAPICS report overrides for MAXRCDS?  If so, which ones
and to what? We didn't get a backup last night because a user submitted
an Item Balance File List at 10:30 PM and it went into message wait due
to CPA4072 - Maximum number of records reached for file AMI2TRP. It was
set at 100,000.
 
Investigation revealed that even if set to 999,999, AMI2TRP will bomb
with
CPA4072 at about 22,000 pages.  I changed it to *NOMAX and the report
completed normally at 44,000 pages.
 
Surely, some of  have run into this before and I'd like to know how you
approached it.
 
Thanks,
