I have a file witch is greater than 1 GB.

To handle this I have to use MF8 but also, as I understood, set FILEMAXSIZE=8 in extfh.cfg

(extfh.cfg  on the same directory as all programmes, not data-files)

The file I want to affect is on a subdir t\\, filename is artik_3o  (w/o extension)

Will the extfh.cfg be

[XFH-DEFAULT]
; no default
[t\\artik_3o.]
FILEMAXSIZE=8

[t\\artik_3o.]

I would suggest that you turn on BASENAME=ON in XFH-DEFAULT and then just use the name of the file.

[XFH-DEFAULT]

BASENAME=ON

[artik_3o]

FILEMAXSIZE=8
