Re: why the 16meg space size limit?

You are welcome ;-)
Many applications want to have data structures during processing which are
larger than 16MB (JVM, for example). With 16MB limit one has to split these
structures in smaller pieces, which is awkward. Teraspace solved this.
Now if you want to store permanently vast amounts of data, you have (and
always had!) several ways to do this.
I've already mentioned database files and stream files.

So I am back to my question - what is so special about *USRSPC object that
you want it to be larger than 16MB ?

Alexei,
can I turn the question back on you?

why was it so important for ibm to provide teraspace functionality?
