  • Subject: stat: 4b 0 versus ?what?
  • From: rob@xxxxxxxxx

I am using a bit of code I probably got from someone on this list quite
some time ago.  It reads the directories in the IFS and reports back on
size.  Evidently I've reached the limit of a 4B 0 field.  The file is
bigger than a gig.  And, while yes, we should address that issue, I want to
get the list program working.  Here are some lines of code:


DStatStruc        DS           128
d  fill1                  1     20
D* Size                  21     24B 0
d  size                  45     48b 0
d  FileType              49     53
d  fill4                 76    127
DpStatStruc       S               *   Inz(%Addr(StatStruc))
...
c                   eval      boxsize = size
...
 *
 * Get file information
 *
c                   eval      Dir#File = %Subst(StreamDir:1:Leny - 1)
c                                      + %Subst(FileNam:1:Len)
c                                      + X'00'
C                   Eval      RC = Stat(pDir#File:pStatStruc)
...
c                   eval      boxsize = size
...
MCH1210 - The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the
result (C G D F)
'D'
BOXSIZE               PACKED(12,0)         000007864320.
                      VALUE IN HEX         '0000007864320F'X

BOXSIZE must be from previous file.

SIZE                BIN(9,0)             078984704.       '40500000'X

1 is truncated from the beginning of SIZE.

How could I change 'size' without messing up the data structure?
