This thread belongs on the RPG list. In case the OP isn't on that list, I
have replied both places.

Yes you can, but what I've done in the past is to use CPYFRMIMPF into
a database file that would just have 1 field long enough to fix the max
length in the file. Then use that DB2 file to read in the RPG.

That does work, and if we applied enough brain power, we could probably find
even more convoluted ways to do this. :) (Sorry, Michael.)

It's not worth all that hassle, since it's so easy to work with stream files
in RPG. Start here: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245402.html
