While I'm not from HP I am in a position of knowing about IMAGE....

No, IMAGE does not yet support the new, 128GB file sizes. One still needs
to utilize the JUMBO dataset feature of IMAGE to go beyond a 4GB file for
larger dataset capacities.  However, the good news is if you have a JUMBO
master set which contains more than 3.75GB of key data, you can now
successfully
attach a b-tree index to that master set.  Furthermore, you can fully extract
a JUMBO set to a large file and sort it either using utilities such as
SUPRTOOL from ROBELLE.
