Re: record size limit

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use a stream file in the IFS instead of a database file.  (FTP is
converting your database to a stream file when sending it to the Unix
machine, anyway)

With a stream file, there are no limits for the lengths of records, etc.
There may be limit to the total byte-length of the file itself, but it
seems unlikely that you'd run up against that...
