The dynamical cluster-decay model (DCM) is extended to a positive Q-value (Q(out)), heavy compound system Ba-116*, with complete angular momentum and charge dispersion effects included in it. The contributions due to both the light particles (LPs) and intermediate mass fragments (IMFs) are considered to give the total cross section. Interestingly, instead of the complete IMF spectrum observed for lighter systems such as Cr-48* and Ni-56*, here two small 'windows of IMFs' are predicted, one for light masses (2 <= Z <= 9) and another for the heavy mass end of symmetric and nearly symmetric fragments (14 <= Z <= 28), in agreement with the available data for the light mass 'IMF window' and its indications of possible extension to the heavier mass fragments. Within a non-statistical model description, the definition of phase space is found to be contained in the DCM definition of the 'IMF window' for the compound nucleus process. As in experiments, the calculated excitation functions are shown to put a limit on the minimum incident centre-of-mass energy required for the production of IMFs, and it will be of further interest to observe in experiments the predicted structures in the excitation functions of both the individual fragments, like for C-12 decay, and the summed-up cross sections. Also, further measurements of the total kinetic energies of the fragments are called for.
