Identify the data you want
- SFC, 6 parameters
- Time: 00, March 2017
- all steps (0/to/90/by/1, 93/to/144/by/3 and 150/to/360/by/6)
- all numbers (1/to/50)
Use MARS list to find out the size

When we run the list action this is the output:
size=4484574297000; # 4.48 TB number_of_fields=1348500; online_size=799241928660; off_line_size=3685332368340; number_of_tape_files=93; number_of_disk_files=281; number_of_online_fields=240330; number_of_offline_fields=1108170; number_of_tapes=32;
The data is too large: 4.48 TB and split across 32 tapes.
