RE: User Space extent

Is there a reason a DB2 Physical file would not work for this purpose? That
is the direction I would take, that way you never have to worry about
ceilings which can hurt when you hit your head on them:-)

The user space will contain updated account numbers (3A + 9P 0, combined
into a 12A) that are collected from journal entries throughout the day.  The
number of elements can climb to 400k-500k a day (cleared out each night), so
I will rarely hit the ceiling (except maybe after a three-day weekend).  The
reason I hit the ceiling was due to a bug I created while writing the
program, but I wanted to know if there was a way to do the impossible, an
'insider trick', to bypass that 16MB limit.

Interesting... It piques my curiousity why the 16MB 'knob' can't just be
turned up... That really bytes (three times no less ;-)
