CGI_HITLOG_SIZE” IN THE PARMFILE CONTROLS SIZE OF CGI_HITLOG:

The “cgi_hitlog” file contains info on what web pages respondents havehit (intro, first page, suspend, resume, complete). You can now control the size of the cgi_hitlog.<ldev> file using this setting in your parmfile.

SYNTAX: CGI_HITLOG_SIZE: ##########

If you set it to zero it means never stop writing to the file. Any othernumber is a file size in bytes, and when the file gets bigger than that, the hitlog is saved off and a new one is started. The number of bytes to roll the files over defaults to 2 megabytes in version 8.6.1 and older in version 8.7 and newer the default is 13 megabytes. When the file is full, the hitlog (say cgi_hitlog.00118) is copied cgi_hitlog.00118.1 and cgi_hitlog.00118 is emptied and then starts filling up again. That means that unless you save off the cgi_hitlog.00118.1 file, it’ll be overwritten the next time that the cgi_hitlog.00118 file fills up.
