64K is _a_ limit in V5R4 but it may not affect you - depends how you structure the data.

For example a stand-alone field defined as 100,000 long is too big as a single field. But an array of 100 elements each 1,000 long is fine.

Same kind of thing for a DS. Maximum size for a single element in a DS is 64K but you can define a DS array with as many 64K elements as will fit in 16Mb.

If you could tell us exactly how you will receive the data and what you want to do with it then we could offer practical solutions.

The response below talks about using XML-INTO but I don’t see anything about XML in your original question so I’m a bit confused about that.

Accept the incoming data as a CLOB. Define as an SQL Data type in your RPG similar to:

d parm_xml_in s SQLTYPE(CLOB:1048576)

this will create a 1M CLOB to read into your program. The SQL pre-compiler will break the variable into two parts...the data itself and the actual length of the data (the number of bytes used of the CLOB).

In the example, you can access these variable as parm_xml_in _data and parm_xml_in _len. The SQL pre-compiler automatically created these variables. The variable with the '_data' suffix can be manipulated using all (so far!) of the typical character manipulation methods and can be parsed by the XML-INTO opcode.

XML-INTO(E) target_variable %xml(parm_xml_in_data: 'allowmissing=yes allowextra=yes case=any');

Subject: Data string greater than 65k

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V5r4
Here is my problem
We are attempting to utilize a new courier and their process is to send a data string that is ultimately a pdf, but the data string is greater than 65k - which I believe is the limitation on this release I have tried to google anything to see if anything is available to get the end result so that it can be printed - but have not succeeded Does anyone have any tricks up there sleeve?

As always - any and all responses gratefully accepted
