I am getting the following error from DBSCHEMA when trying to create a
new database:

    Capacity:        52000000  ;

***** ERROR *****  NUMBER OF BLOCKS EXCEEDS TURBOIMAGE MAXIMUM

Blocks needed = 17333333, but Maximum TurboIMAGE Blocks = 8388607.

With $CONTROL BLOCKMAX = 2560, and a blocking factor of 50,
the number of blocks would fit (1040000 blocks of 2554 words).

A blocking factor can be specified in parentheses after the capacity, as
in:
   ... capacity : 52000000 (50) ...

Is this a database limit to the number of blocks or a dataset limit?  I
doubt that it is a dataset limit since it successfully processed an
identically structured dataset with a capacity of 55,000,000 earlier in
the schema.  I have $CONTROL BLOCKMAX = 2048, a record length of 102
bytes, and a blocking factor of 40.  Any ideas what the problem might
be?

Thanks
