Parameters:

When set, new ESDS files are created as extended ESDS files. An extended ESDS file is not limited to 4GB, and therefore you can use extended relative byte addressing with it (see the EXTENDEDESDSXRBA option).

When set, new ESDS files are created as standard ESDS files.

Properties:

Default: OFF
