Sorry for the confusion here all.

I have sent out a reponse to this post earlier this AM, but it is
taking a while to post. Looks like you responded to it below. I am not
sure why this is not included in the post. I will try posting it again.

FYI, the file system is a large file enabled JFS2 and filesize is set
to unlimited. I created a file larger than 64Gb with AIX on the
filesystem with no problems. IBM says this is a TSM limitation not an
AIX one and they have an APAR associated with it (see link below)

Again im sorry, this was my mistake, I miss understood what my
colleague had told me. Indeed AIX its self will work with file spaces
larger than 64g BUT As per the APAR I linked you...

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC50581

The 64g is a known limitation of TSM on AIX systems. As such TSM will
only recognize up to 64g of space on a FILE type space. I have found
further information confirming this in another PMR. As shown on the
bottom of the APAR, this problem will be fixed in a future release.

Does this answer your question? is there anything else I can help you
with?

We still don't have pertinent details on this problem.  What is your
AIX operating system bitmode, and your file system type?  Those
factors may impose architectural limits on the file size you may
utilize.
