RE: SNADS and FTP limits ?

["Kirk Goins" <kirkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So everyone agrees... SNADS is 2gb and FTP is 1TB ??

Thanks for everyone's input.

Per the help for the SNDNETF(v4r5) command: The maximum size of a file that
can be sent using the SNDNETF command is approximately 2 billion bytes.  If
you attempt to send an object that is too large using SNADS you will receive
msgCPF8072 - Object to be sent is greater than maximum size of 2GB.

There is a rather excellent manual that IBM puts out called "AS/400 Maximum
Capabilities".  The last version of it that I have is at V4R5, and using
IBM's excellent web navigation tools, I am unable to find it for V5R1 (we
should expect no less).

The IBMer who maintains it is on a relentless mission to document every
maximum capability for the system, so if you don't find it there, let him
know (through me - as he doesn't know that I'm responding to this note,
it's not fair to use his name, but I have copied him on this note).

I hope to find a copy of this shortly, and if you send me private e-mail, I
will forward you a copy.

I remember you bringing this up before. It seemed odd then, and stranger
now, considering the 1 TB limit expressed for database.

Are you talking stream file or database?

I misquoted - should say 'amount of storage', which, I assume, is DASD
