I always get nervous when people ask me to set a file to *NOMAX.  I have
this vision of a runaway program chewing up all available disk space late
some night.

I think a nice enhancement to OS/400 would be to let you set the SIZE
parameter as part of the response.  Or let you CHGPF SIZE() while the file
is in use.  Give the error a 'Retry' and you can let the operator go to
lunch instead of extending the file by little bits and pieces forever.
