DBF files, that contain the attributes for a Shape file, are still DBase 3.

They can have a maximum size of 2 GB.

The solution would be fanning out the Shape files based on an attribute.

Or writing out to another format (in general File Geodatabase can contain the same information and has no limit on size).

Hope this helps.

How do I do writing out to another format (in general File Geodatabase can contain the same information and has no limit on size).

Can you please elaborate?

Hi @madhavijbp,

 

For this translation you can just swap out the writer to use the geodatabase writer. Here are some tutorials that might be helpful for this:

Hope that helps!
