Error Can not open file
Hi Gurus

The file is there and owned by my own user. Smilie

That's a 15-gigabyte script file..? Smilie. How much memory do you have?
# 3  
Old 05-28-2012
Basically it is an shared archive.... I know bad choice but is it failing for memory? physical memory is around 3 GB.....
# 4  
Old 05-28-2012
Some systems only allow special 64-bit executables to open files larger than 4 gigs, I suspect your OS may be one of them.

It's not a shared archive, its a shell archive.
See man shar . It's one of those commands that used to be taught on training courses and nobody ever uses. There are much better ways of moving data.

What you you get for:
Code:
ls -lad revenueassurance.shar

Please check your directory does not contain any files with funny characters. The sed is designed to make funny characters visible.
Code:
ls -la | sed -n l

I too would be very surprised if a shar file can exceeed 2 Gb .
Also your sh must be a proper Bourne Shell.
What Operating System and version is this?

What was the command used to create the .shar file?

If I recall correctly, HP sometimes shipped support files in the form shell archives.

This error message is probably coming from a read statement inside the .shar file. It probably writes a file somewhere that it tries to read afterwards.. Perhaps it tries to write in an tmp directory and there is not enough room, or perhaps one needs to be in user writeable directory before unshar'ing the file? You would need to look inside the .shar file to be sure...
