Increase the FNR limit in NATURAL. Merged

Increase the FNR limit

Since Adabas allows files up to 32000, I need to generate Natural LUW DDMs with FNR > 5000.

In Open System Environments:

Natural has FNR limit of 5000

http://documentation.softwareag.com/natural/nat833unx/edis/ddm_ux_create.htm#ddm_ux_create

... Enter the file number (FNR) of the database file for which a DDM is to be created (valid values: 1 - 5000)

and

Adabas file number has limit of 32000

http://documentation.softwareag.com/adabas/ada63os/utils/fdu.htm#fdu

...FILE = number

...

The maximum number that can be specified is 32000.

The Adafdu utility and Predict File functions allows to define/create an Adabas file with an FNR like 5555 as example.

However if try to generate a view using DDM functions or Predict Generate DDM the following errors appears:

- DIC2675 FILE NUMBER INVALID (MUST BE 1 THRU 5000 )

or

- File number must be from 1 to 5000
