I'm not sure if there is a "simple" way.

1. SEU used to have, and for all I know, still has a limit of about 32,760
lines 
   of source code.  If your source needs more lines than this, you'll have to 
   use the /COPY operand to bring extra source members in at compile time.

2. If the OPM (Original Program Model) RPG program is too big to compile, this 
   can be caused by there being more than 32,760 items (sorry, I don't have 
   an AS/400 conneciton while writing this, so the terminology isn't precise) 
   like fields, tags, subroutine names and variables defined in the program.  
   The way I've seen this problem worked around is to convert to RPG ILE and
compile.
   You would copy your various pieces of source into one big member for the
compile.

   Arthur Andersen's MAC-PAC manufacturing software resorted to this latter
approach 
   a couple of years ago when about four of their programs grew too large to be 
   compiled using OPM RPG.

I hope this was of help.

I'm sure the people on this list will contribute a lot of ideas to help you.

Good luck!
