Sam, does Thread60-616004 help?

32-bit UNIX systems can only handle files < 2GB
since the programming model is IPL32. Some years
ago (1995?) the Large File Summit extensions were
agreed upon as a way of overcoming the 2GB file size
limit in 32-bit systems (ftello(), fseeko(), etc.)

Solaris and all modern Unices include support for
the LFS extensions.

Thanx guy.. I had tried all the solution but still unable to fix this problem. I think we have no choice but to upgrade our Unix version... cause the current version really lack of many thing. Thanx for all the help...
