Problem:

File Handling;

for indexed files under exclusive access mode, the maximum size is 4 GB by default using MF format (IDXFORMAT 3) and default FILEMAXSIZE at 4.

Because fileshare open file in exclusive mode, does it mean that the maximum is also 4GB even multiple processes are using fileshare to gain access to a file concurrently.  As the documentation does not mention fileshare, please confirm.

Resolution:

Fileshare opens the files exclusively and maintains the locks. Even if two separate process are accessing the records thgrough fileshare the locks are still being maintained under the control of fileshare.

Therefore as the file is opened exclusively the limits are the same as any other process opening the file exclusively.
