AIX and Value too large to be stored in data type.

Code:
root@test8:/config1>oslevel -s
5300-01-00-0000
root@test8:/config1>oslevel -r
5300-01


while moving a file sized 9GB i got this message
Code:
root@test8:/configapp>mv bkp_14JUN16_oraapp_2.tgz /oraapp
bkp_14JUN16_oraapp_2.tgz: Value too large to be stored in data type.

possibly need APAR Fix IY68126: MV COMMAND SHOWS EOVERFLOW ERROR FOR LARGE FILES


I tried to untar and unzip and nothing happens when I enter the command,
just exits to command prompt

Code:
root@test8:/>gunzip < /configapp/bkp_14JUN16_oraapp.tgz | /opt/freeware/bin/tar xvf -
root@test8:/>

checking ulimits
Code:
root@test8:/>cat /etc/security/limits
default:
        fsize = -1
        core = -1
        cpu = -1
        data = -1
        rss = -1
        stack = -1
        nofiles = -1
        fsize_hard = -1
        core_hard = -1
        cpu_hard = -1
        data_hard = -1
        stack_hard = -1
        rss_hard = -1
        nofiles_hard = -1


root:
        fsize = -1
        core = -1
        cpu = -1
        data = -1
        stack = -1
        rss = -1
        nofiles = -1
        fsize_hard = -1
        core_hard = -1
        cpu_hard = -1
        data_hard = -1
        stack_hard = -1
        rss_hard = -1
        nofiles_hard = -1


so i went to check tar

Code:
root@test8:/>/opt/freeware/bin/tar -version

nothing happened... seems like tar was not working,\

reinstalled tar and it failed

Code:
Command: failed        stdout: yes           stderr: no

Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

This might probably be the case because with GNU-tools you have to use "--" to introduce long option names. It is command -h but command --help.

I hope this helps.

5- even though the tar/zip file was made on AIX machine and FTP in bin from AIX to AIX still getting this error
moved the file to other machine and still same error error, on the source machine created the file
Code:
/opt/freeware/bin/tar cvf - /oraapp 2> >(tee oraapp.txt /dev/tty) | gzip > bkp_15_6_16_oraapp.tgz

and when trying to unpack
Code:
root@test8:/>gunzip < /config1/bkp_15_6_16_oraapp.tgz | /opt/freeware/bin/tar xvf -
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers


I searched on google but couldn't find any solution for the above
