DART vers-2.7. , max. size of IFS-file (export from SAP-application) in V7R1, sap kernel 742-327

[christoph_ostrop]

max. size of IFS-file (export from SAP-application) in V7R1 up to 2GB or more?

our SAP-System was just updated to:

SAP_NW-740-SPS13  with  ECC-617-SPS11, 

and  SAP Kernel 742-PL327 on IBM-i/OS V7R1 TR10  (cumPTF TL15142)

DART  Vers. 2.7  -   data export   

we did not update yet to vers. 2.8 (with sapnote 2239257 -  http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2239257 )

=============================================

we got dumps:

Category              ABAP Programming Error

Runtime Errors        DATASET_NO_POSITION

Except.                CX_SY_FILE_POSITION

ABAP Program          SAPLTXW5

Application Component  CA-GTF-DRT

What happened?

The current read/write position in file '/usr/sap/ERP/SYS/global/EASY_DART/1101TXW_FI_POS_ES' cannot be accessed

There are several possible reasons for this:

Error in the ABAP Application Program

The current ABAP program "SAPLTXW5" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

External error

The current ABAP program "SAPLTXW5" had to be terminated because the ABAP processor detected a system error.

This is probably due to an error in an external component of the SAP system (e.g. the operating system).

2394546244rwxrwxrwx201605190457342016051906232120160519062321"

The error reported by the operating system is: Error number..... 127

Error text....... "Value too large to be stored in data type"

second DUMP to the same Job:

Category              ABAP Programming Error

Runtime Errors        MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN

ABAP Program          RTXWQU05

Application Component  CA-GTF-DRT

Date and Time          19.05.2016 06:23:21

What happened?

    Error in the ABAP Application Program

    The current ABAP program "RTXWQU05" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

How to correct the error

    Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.

  If the error occurs in a non-modfied SAP program, you might be able to find a solution in the SAP Notes system.

If you have access to the SAP Notes system, check there first using the following keywords:

    "MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN"

    "RTXWQU05" bzw. RTXWQU05

    "EXECUTE_SPLIT_DATA"

Dear Mr Ostrop,

according to the documentation for IBM i 7.1 at the IBM Knowledge Center, the only 2 GB limit exists when accessing a system at IBM 6.1 or earlier through QFileSvr.400. When working locally on IBM i 7.1 in the root file system or accessing a file on IBM i 7.1 or higher through QFileSvr.400, the limit is 128 GB for "Type 1" stream files and 1 TB for "Type 2" stream files.

The error message "Value too large to be stored in data type" sounds more like an error in the application than a limit in the file system.

Kind regards,

Christian Bartels.

Christian, thank you for your answer,

i already opened a SAP-support-ticket =  151961-2016 to investigate that issue.

i got an answer from SAP-Support:

it seems to be a matter of technical configuration within the DART modules:

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1841810

we are running a unicode-System (and in that config was selected wrongly non-Unicode)
