Output file size created when using MFCATXML

Problem:

Sometimes using MFCATXML with a large catalog creates only a few output files.

Other times, when the catalog is smaller, the MFCATXML creates over 15 output files.

What is the reasoning for the file size?

What are the output file size based on?

Resolution:

The catalog export will create a new file every 100000 records.

Set the environment variable ‘MF_MVSP0034_LIMIT’ to a value up to 999999 to increase the size of the files.
The max is 6 digits.

Thank You! We were going crazy trying to figure out why this happens
