For format 8 indexed files, the FILEPOINTERSIZE parameter specifies the length in bytes to use to store file pointers.

Syntax:
FILEPOINTERSIZE={6|8}
Parameters:
6 Use 6 bytes, allowing for files up to 256 terabytes.
8 Use 8 bytes, allowing for files over 256 terabytes.
Properties:
Default: 6
Comments:

The FILEPOINTERSIZE=8 option uses up more space to store file pointers. Therefore, the resulting file size might increase slightly.
