After that, it either grows by adding pages (dynamic hashed file) or by extending groups into overflow. If it's a 32-bit hashed file, the write that tries to take it beyond 2...

I already have a job that checks using a routine the maxdatetime value, but it throws 'literal not in the format' error.
