1218.0. "Logical unit limit on VAX??" by KERNEL::PULLEY (Come! while living waters flow) Wed Mar 12 1997 06:22

    Hi,
    
    I've a customer using Fortran 77 v6.0-1--I've told them there's some
    nice new shiny ones to upgrade to.
    
    What the query is:-
    Is there a higher limit on the number of logical units you can use on
    the VAX?
    I've checked in manuals I have to hand, the user's manual section
    4.1.1, which for the Alpha's is dated 1992 and says the limit is
    however many you can get in 4 byte int.
    For the VAX, (dated 1993), it says 119 logical units, 20 of which are
    for the library routines.
    
    Thanks for comments,
    Steve.

	This limit has not changed on VAX, and is not likely to do so. There are actually 120 units available - unit 0 is valid. Steve
