TeleAtlas Multinet version provides the geocoding shapes for all states in US and Canada. I merged around 5 gc shp files.. but the results in the attributes were not merged properly. The attribute data are mixed with different columns.
My friend suggested me to create a File Geodatabase through Catalog and then try to merge all gc shp files of North America............ It worked fine..... no issue after merging and compressed well...
From the ESRI sites, it seems that the shape file has the limitation of 2GB..
Anyhow, I learned a new thing, and thought share with you all......
