Resolution

There is not truly an exact number of logonids that can fit in an INCLUDE statement. The only limit is the record length of the INFOSTG database (which can go to a max of 32k).

If there is only an INCLUDE parameter (no EXCLUDE), the following numbers can serve as a guideline depending on the size of the INFOSTG record length:

4k record size = 500 logonids
16k record size = 2,000 logonids
32k record size = 4,000 logonids

Note that the actual maximum will be slightly less than the numbers provided in order to account for the record header information. Any additional information added to the record such as EXCLUDE parameter information will also remove from the total maximum.
