RE: getBytes for a string longer than 65535

I am curious as to what is contained within the Java string that requires
that much space.  There may be an alternative mechanism for relaying the
string value that would give you much more flexibility in the future (i.e.
user spaces).

Your issue of passing large strings is giving me an idea based on a previous
open source tool I have out there.  Check out "RPG Dynamic Arrays" at
http://mowyourlawn.com/blog/?p=19

The basic premise of the RPG Dynamic Arrays tooling is to allow you to store
RPG data structures in a user space and easily retrieve them using service
program sub procs.  I am thinking some simple Java code could be written to
get and put information into the user space in a similar fashion.  That
would allow very easy passing of complex RPG data structures to/from Java
programs.  I will put the Java portion on my to-do list if for nothing else
than some fun coding :-)

Let me know if that would help you out in your case,

Subject: getBytes for a string longer than 65535

Bonjour,

because it seems that getBytes can only be used with strings up to 65535, is
there another way to convert a java String longer than 65535 into an RPG
string ?

Thanks.
Adele.
