Hi kruthika ,

If you are using more then 4g.b data go for dataset b'cus file set will not workin in PX mode.

Do you have some proof for this claim, Mandy?

Even if you are on an operating system that only supports 2GB files, a fileset can contain many physical files, so there should not be any limit to the size of a fileset.

Chapter 6 of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide provides all the extra information you need to know.

The main difference between dataset and fileset, it seems to me, is the fact that a file set also includes information about how the data are formatted.
