RE: Maximum number of Parameters passed to a RPG program

It's something good to know, but I think somebody should suggest telling him 
that you almost never want to pass that many parameters into a program, at 
least separately. Yikes! (IMHO anyway) That would be something to do 
maintenance on... 

I have recently worked on a number of programs using a similar set of values, 
but i was looking at just twenty-five or so, and I put them together into a 
data structure (in this case) and passed that over as a parameter. That was/is 
even parsing it out in the batch-job CL.

Lapeyre, Francis   As long as each DS isn't more than 65535 bytes long. 
That gives you a theoretical maximum length of 16,711,425 bytes if you pass 
255 data structures, each 65535 bytes long. You could have as many "fields" 
as you can squeeze in there. But you also have the storage allocation limit 
of 16,776,704 bytes and the symbolic name limit of 4096 to deal with, so 
the practical limit is probably much less.
