Thanks Jim! I was confusing "size of base file falls < 1024" with 1 GB!
So if a file starts at less than 2 GB but then grows bigger than 2GB it will no longer be eligible? Similar if a file falls below 1024 bytes? Thanks again!

Ie. If a file is > 1 GB, is it ineligible for subfile processing? Thanks, Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg
