 is the max number of elements you can have.

Yeah, but I have the option to set a file to *NOMAX and run the same risk. 
All I'm saying is we should have the option. After all, I can put a program 
into an endless loop which would play havoc with response time, but the 
compiler still gives me the option of coding a loop.
