GOAL:
How to export data to an ASCII file larger than 2GB.
FIX:
The commonly used command, 'OUTPUT STREAM <stream_name> to <file_name>', will generate files with a maximum size of 2GB. There is a way to work around this limitation by redirecting the output to an operating system command.
As an example, the solution for UNIX might look like this:
'OUTPUT STREAM <stream_name> THROUGH VALUE ("dd > /tmp/export_file.out 2>/dev
ull")'
