Question:
I am using ACIF to generate an AFPDS file that includes the resources. I have specified RESTYPE=ALL in my parameters. Is there a limit to the number of resources that can be included in the resource file?
Answer:
While there is no architectural limit to the number of resources included in an AFPDS resource file, storage capacity could be an issue if the resource file is very large. You just need to ensure that you have adequate storage for the entire AFPDS file.
