Hi Richard, As far as I know, IDS has not been compiled with the "large file support". That means you are right. You cannot create diskfiles larger than 2 GB with Informix tools. But this should not be a problem if you can do your dbexport onto tape (and I am afraid that would be the only possibility you have).
