MPE/iX Large Files Overview
been enhanced to search KSAM64 and KSAMXL files.
HPGLANCEPLUS/iX
HPGlancePlus/iX has been changed to display file information about Large Files. Also,
KSAM64 files are included in the File Display on the Process Screen and will show a type
of KSM64.
HPBROWSE/iX
HPBrowse/iX supports viewing Large Files and KSAM64 Files.
HPEDIT/iX
HPEdit/iX does not support files of 2,000,000 records or more, and so, does not support
Large Files.
COBOL/iX
COBOL II/iX supports Large Files. No changes are necessary to existing COBOL II/iX
programs to read, write, and update Large Files. KSAM64 files are supported by the
Indexed I-O module. When you open a file with indexed organization, that file is permitted
to be an existing KSAM64 file. When COBOL II/iX creates a file with indexed
organization, by default it will create a KSAM XL file. However, you may override the
default by issuing a FILE command specifying KSAM64 as the file type.
COBOL II/CM
COBOL II/CM does not support KSAM64 files. An attempt to open or create a KSAM64 file
with a CM COBOL program will result in file status 39 and, typically, a program abort
with COBOL error 648.
C/iX
C/iX does not support Large Files. You must issue your own intrinsic calls if you want to
access Large Files from C. Attempting to open a Large File using the C/iX Library function
fopen() will fail and set errno to ESYSERR (50).
