RE: Record size limitation in RPG - MQ Series

[michaelr_41@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

RPG can pass by reference or by value. By reference is the default, which
is where a pointer to the data is passed; specifying the D spec keyword
VALUE passes the actual data. CONST makes a copy of the data and then
passes a pointer to the copy.
