How to control flie size limit exceeded (SIGXFSZ) abend

We have a thirdparty application that abended. I looked a the core file with mdb and the status shows SIGXFSZ (see core file status below).

What controls the file size limit?

Thanks,

That signal is sent if a process exceeds its fsize rlimit.Use the limit or ulimit command to set the limit in the shell that starts the application.

Robert,Thanks for the reply. There is no "normal shell" for this account (although I'm not sure just which user encounter the error). The /etc/passwd entries specify iiish.sysglen

Well, I'm not sure whats going on here.The default value for fsize rlimit is unlimited. So I'm not sure why your getting a lower value.I also have no idea what iiish is. Perhaps its setting the lower value.Does it have a configuration file?
