Well, I speak from painful experience that S/36 RPG-II programs definitely had
a 64K program object size limit.  Didn't matter what size S/36 you had.
Though syntax errors bombed the compile within a few/several minutes, it took
an hour for the compile to tell you that you had exceeded the 64K limit.  Man,
I don't miss those days!

This would happen on very small .. AS400's.  I have never seen this happen,
since the AS400 basically works with vertual memory, in the form of
overlays... as RPG II and III did in the AS400 and prior systems from
previous generations..

Uh, there's such a thing as "too big to compile" with RPG-III?  How so that
RPG-IV is not likewise limited?
