Bob, slight type-o correction.

*USRIDX objects can be 1TB vs. 1GB (which is what I am guessing you meant)

Tommy,
RPG IV's %alloc() is limited to 16MBs (today).
The C runtime _TS_*() functions can get at teraspace.
User Indexes can be up to 4GB or 1GB.

Basically use dynamic memory allocation.  Not sure what the size limit is on
that but I think it would be much greater than user indexes (but I've been
wrong many times before LOL) 


Thanks,

I am not sure what you mean by that Tommy.  Could you explain?  User Indexes
are "teraspace capable" if that is what you are getting at.
