RE: ULIMIT Problem continues: Please Help

Hi Raja,
 Try setting ' ulimit -f unlimited' in the profile file for oracle user id before starting the installer.
 You may have to enable the large file support, if not already done. A casual search for 'How to set ulimit on Unixware?' on http://www.google.com found this link http://www.sco.com/developer/core9/migpth9.htm. Let us know if that helps you out. Else, I suggest a call to SCO Support.

HTH..
