We are trying to create a very large indexed subfile. We want to or believe we
have to use  the KSAM64 parameter because of the size of the resulting file.

With the syntax

   SET SUBFILE NAME filename KEEP SIZE huge INDEX item

   The subfile will contain only two items: CHARACTER 16 and 2 respectively

we get various errors.

If the SIZE is 52,510,000, it works.

If the SIZE is 52,515,000, we get the following error:

*E* File error on dictionary portion of subfile.
*E* The file does not exist in specified domain; the file was not found.

From looking at the first file that was successful (52,510,000) and from MPE/iX
BUILD experiments, we believe that the error for the larger file (525,515,000)
is because of too few extents resulting in an effort to build a file with extent
size larger than the maximum permitted extent file.

SO... we tried a file equation:

   FILE filename;DISC=huge,32,32

   SET SUBFILE NAME *filename KEEP SIZE huge INDEX item

in the expectation that QUIZ will back reference the file equation.

Next we set a file equation

FILE GKTT3;DEV=DISC;REC=-18,,F,ASCII;DISC=55000999,32,32;KSAM64;KEY=(B,1,16)

and ran QUIZ again with the following error:

*E* The file open type is inconsistent with the data dictionary type. (filename)

When we used a back-reference in the filename (*filename), the same error was
returned.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
