Max Records in Physical or Printer Files - To Max or Not To Max...

...and that is the question.

When creating a physical or printer file, it is MOST annoying and sometimes
VERY disruptive when one of these types of objects reaches its record limit
causing the application to halt until an operator responds with an
incremental value. I know way back in the days of the SYS38 you could "pin"
a machine silly with a runaway file but doesn't the 400 handle this now with
ASP threshold and disk limitations parameters?

We'd like to create all applicable file objects to size(*NOMAX) but perhaps
someone can educate us first to any extenuating circumstances that could
arise from this decision.

Thanks all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
