[daip] FITLD and scratch files

[Sharmila Goedhart]

Hi

I am running into a bit of problem with fitld at the moment.  I cannot get
the full set of files to load up.  I get the following message
 
FITLD1: ZEXPND: EXPANSION FAILED ON FILE DA03:UVD004001;          NREC =
sharmi>          256916
sharmi> FITLD1: ZERROR: ON FILE DA03:UVD004001;
sharmi> FITLD1: ZERROR: IN ZEXPN2 ERRNO = 27 (File too large)
sharmi> FITLD1: FILE EXPANSION FAILED - QUITTING

I have plenty of space on my outdisk.  The problem appears to be with the
scratch file, which keeps on getting written to disk 2, which at the
moment does not have enough space (I think... there are 2.9 Gb free at the
moment, which seems like a huge amount). There does not seem to be an
option to specify the bad disks during FITLD.  I would actually like to be able to
have all scratch files written to disk 3, since the other disks are on a
remote machine.

Is there any way of working around this?
