Just to clarify,
 
Maximum data entry size         4094 bytes or 2047 words (16 bit)
Maximum data item length        4094 bytes or 2047 words (16 bit)
Maximum data set file size     .5 GB under Classic MPE/V
                                             2 GB under MPE/XL 1.0 - 3.1
                                             4 GB under MPE/iX 4.0 - present
                                                      for single file
                                          ~40 GB under IMAGE version C.06.00
                                                      using Jumbo datasets
available
                                                      as of Express 3 release
under 5.0
 
Data entries per data set       Limited to 2**(23)-1 * blocking factor
 
I personally have not seen a dataset that contained more than 8-digit number
of entries.  Anyone have a dataset with more than 100,000,000 entries?
 
Sincerely,
