The capability of using multi volume sort files to overcome the 2 GIG file size limitation was implemented in Version 8.
To use multi volume srt files on VMS, you need to create an ascii file called <database-name>.srt
Example contents:
200 disk:[directory]
200 disk2:[directory]
0 disk3:[directory]
NB. Make sure there is a carriage return at the end of EVERY line.
The number specified is the number of 1024 byte blocks. 0 indicates its varible - ie no limit to the size.
This file is picked up automatically if it exists in the directory which contains the .db file. To make use of it, just run the index rebuild utility:
progress/utilities=idxbuild <database>
NB. This has been tested on OpenVMS 6.2 and OpenVMS 7.2. Currently this fails on OpenVMS 7.1 - bug reference: 20000118-003
