User spaces have a max size of 16mb. That is one I cannot understand. You
would have thought IBM would have teraspace enabled user spaces years ago.

When you need over 16mb memory what about using a user space? That works
well.

What kinds of RPG applications need more than 16mb memory? As far as I can
recall, I've never run up against that limit. So it just makes me curious.
What about using stream files instead of addressable memory?

With the new version of Mq the maximum message size is 100 mb.



However - even with the highly appreciated extension of maximum variable
size in RPG - the maximum size in RPGLE is 16mb. Even the %ALLOC statement
signals 16 meg as the maximum size it can allocate to a pointer.



Is it likely that IBM will extend the options beyond the 16mb limit in a
coming release?



Is there any work-around available?
