man ulimit

Many systems 

do not contain one or more of these limits. The limit 

for a specified resource is set when the Limit parameter is specified. The value of the Limit parameter can be a number in the unit specified with each resource, or the value unlimited. To set the specific ulimit to unlimited, use the word *unlimited*.

we have set it top unlimited

but we want to know what the value of "unlimited" is .. because we have some side effects in an application wich opend everx 2 sec 2 file discriptors!

so we ask us which number of file discriptors is the "end value"

So your question is, what is the maximum number of file descriptors an AIX process can be granted?

My answer is - no idea. Maybe ask in the developer forum, or check the AIX documentation for your version of AIX to see if that limit is listed anywhere.
