For VLR files I have a note of the following file size limitations.
BSZ values and files sizes for VLR files
0=2GB, 4=8GB, 8=65GB, 12=98GB
Yet we have a VLR file where BSZ=4 and it is 28GB.
Are my notes wrong?
This is what I'm seeing:
-}end
-}delete
-}?prm('MB')
0

So what gives??? :)
BTW: The online documentation still shows the max file size for Pvx data files as 2GB with a note about the 'MB' param. I believe that limitation was removed some versions back.

Jim,
Assuming prm('xk')=1... Limit for your file is 32 GB.
See here:

Aha. I need to update my notes to include the XK parameter.
Thanks for the explanation!
Maybe the online manual under system limits should be updated to include how BSZ and 'XK' parameter affect file size limits...
