2Gig limitation - is this limited to Unix or does it also affect VMS?

[Maloney, Charlie]

This was changed in 2001 for all PowerHouse Version 8.3 (and higher)
products at the request of an OpenVMS telco customer that needed page
numbers exceeding 100,000.  



1:  From the "Cognos PowerHouse (R) 4GL Version 8.30 for OpenVMS Upgrade
Guide", Copyright 2001, page 24:

QUIZ Max PAGE Number

The maximum QUIZ page number has been increased from -32767 to +32767 to
-2147483647
to +2147483647.




2:  From the "Cognos PowerHouse (R) 4GL Version 8.3 QUIZ Reference",
copyright 2001, page 140:

SET PAGE
	NUMBER n
		Sets the initial page number of a report. This option is
useful if the report is part of a preceding
report.  
		Limit: -2147483647 to 2147483647

		Default: 1

to the number of records we can write to the sort or the scratch file.

2G ?
Quiz still outputs spurious page headings at 10k (VMS 710G).
