The size limit of standard output and standard error output

Our system has a following setting error. And We will fix the error on this weekend maintenance.(from Dec 11 to Dec 14)

 
About setting error
The size limit of standard output and standard error output did not work and you could output over the limit.
 

About the fix on this weekend maintenance
We will enable the size limit. After the maintenance, you can not output to the standard output and standard error output over 100 MB. If you want to output to the standard output and standard error output over 100 MB , Please "redirect" as the following script.
 

The sample script of Redirection (in the case of C-shell)

redirect the standard output to a file
./a.out > out.txt

redirect the standard output and standard error output to the same file
./a.out >& out_and_err.txt

redirect the standard output and standard error output to the separate files
(./a.out > out.txt) >& err.txt

 

About the job in the case of the outputting to the standard output and standard error output over 100 MB
The job will run correctly. But the standard output and standard error output will not output over 100 MB. Our system will print the following message at the last of file.

"The size of stdout exceeded 104857600 byte(s)."

We recommend "redirect" as the above script.
 

>To users that had used our old system before 2014 Dec.
If you outputted over the limit size on our old system, the system stopped that job then. On our current system, the system will not stop that job. This point is different. Please note it.
 

Thank you for your understanding.
