when we are processing a file of size more than 2 GB , we can't do so ..
when checked the limit it set as --> data 2097152 Kbytes.
does it cause the issue ?
whats the command to increase it ??

In what way does it not work? What are you doing to the file? Are you on a 32-bit system? This may be a physical limit.

Try ulimit -f unlimited. But again, ulimit may have nothing to do with this problem. I can't be sure because you refuse to describe it.
