RE: Record size limitation in RPG - MQ Series

Hey, Carl..

A UsrSpc is the same thing as a DtaAra, but created with APIs.  DtaAra
limitation is 16MB, currently.  You can define/utilize these in several ways
in RPG III or IV (CL, REXX, etc.), but it depends on the parms to MQ (and
whether by val or ref and such) which would be one-a the better ways of
doing this.

MQ's a beast, and one I don't know a lot about.  Might be able to find
someone, tho, if this or other suggestions don't help.
