A COBOL subroutine opens a number of temporary files.  The one in question has
the following 'select' statement:
     SELECT HIST-FIRST-FILE          ASSIGN TO 'D6068OT1'.
and is opened for output.

The manual indicates that if 'file-size' is not specified a default of 10,000
records is used.

The program running on a 'SERIES 969-220' on MPE/iX 5.5 PP7 creates the file as
described in the manual.
However, when executing on a 'SERIES 987-150' on the same version of the OS the
file limit is set at 1,000.

Is anyone aware of any 'run time' or 'compile time' settings, or anything else,
that could account for such a behavior?
