Re: Max size for stream file APIs

As the others have said, many of the old IFS APIs, including stat() use 32-bit integers and are therefore limited to 2GB or 4GB file sizes.

Use stat64() instead, which uses 64-bit integers.

If you don't have prototypes you can find them here:

Just curious if anyone has run into an issue with the max size a stream
file can be when working with it through RPG and the IFS APIs.

I have someone with 25GB file and it's erroring out on the stat() call to
check for it's existance (I don't have the RC right now). Also, EDTF
reports an error as well "Object is too large to process."

Thanks.
