FIX:
On UNIX systems that have a 2GB file size limitation (Alpha OSF does not), PROUTIL DUMP creates multiple files when you dump a table larger than 2GB. For example, when you dump data from a table with the name "customer" that is 6.4GB, PROUTIL DUMP creates four binary dump files: customer.bd, customer.bd2, and customer.bd3, each of which is approximately 2GB, and customer.bd4, which is approximately 0.4GB. The PROUTIL DUMP procedure adds header blocks to the binary dump files. As a result, the total size of the binary dump files is slightly larger than the table itself.
On Windows NT and Alpha OSF, however, there is no 2GB file size limitation. On Windows NT and Alpha OSF, PROUTIL DUMP creates only one binary dump file regardless of the size of the table.
To load multiple binary dump files into the target database, specify each file individually. For example:
proutil db-name -C load customer.bd
proutil db-name -C load customer.bd2
proutil db-name -C load customer.bd3
proutil db-name -C load customer.bd4
