z/OS Solutions preferences

Use the z/OS Solutions preference page to set general preferences for z/OS® files.1

Purpose

You can set the following preference on this page.2
Show warning message on opening files
Opening large files can cause out-of-memory errors and a forced shutdown of the workbench. Select this option to check the size of any file that is being opened (sequential data sets, partitioned data set members, or local files) and display a warning if it is larger than the specified threshold. This warning gives you the option to cancel the file open operation or continue it. This option is enabled by default, and the default threshold is 2500 KB. To specify a different threshold, enter a value in the Maximum file size to open without warning (in KB) field.
