I am running ADSM MVS version 2.1.9 and NT client 2.1.8, and I have been
unable to backup files greater than 2GB in size.  The dsmerr.log comes back
with:

02/04/1998 01:56:01  fioOpen(): File 'D:\ORANT\DBS\HEAD\FORINDEXES01.DBF'
is too large to be backed up, size exceeds 2 Gigabytes.

These are Oracle database files, but the database is brought down previous
to backup.  Has anyone had success backing up files greater than 2GB in NT?

Thanks,
