Determining size of workunit dataset

[newportm]

I'm running some large DISTRIBUTION functions and we have some concerns over the size of the output in the Workunit. Is there a way for me to tell the size of a workunit output? DISTRIBUTION does not give the option to save to a logical file. So as we move to the cloud, I want to make sure we limit the size of our outputs where possible.

Thanks,

I don't think there is directly.

However, I would recommend taking a look at the DataPatterns bundle that is now merged into the standard library (Std.DataPatterns). It provides the functionality of DISTRIBUTION plus much more.
