RE: User Space or Data Queue or PF or IFS

John,
This is a long-standing problem with User Spaces. IBM never create a
Terespace User Space like the did with other objects. :( I wish they would,
it seems logical. 
The only alternative that works somewhat like a User Space (as far as
programming goes) is to use, as you suggested, the IFS.

Subject: User Space or Data Queue or PF or IFS

I have written a utility to retrieve records from an SQL server.
I used User Space to store the data returned from the server.
The problem is that the user space is restricted to 16MB.
In order to break this limitation, I need to move to another storage method.
I am putting data directly off a socket in 32K chunks and accessing it by
address.
Any method besides the IFS would cause me to have to calculate the record I
want every I/O, although a Data Queue would work because I can use the 32K
chunks and just divide my offset by 32767 to get the record that I want. (I
will still have some overlap, but I can deal with that)

Any suggestions?
