It sounds to me as though you could model these transactions as a
database file with a record length of 12k and holding up to 99 records
for a given 'transaction ID'. Would something like this be your
processing cycle:

1) Read 12k of data (XML / JSON / Plain Old Text)
2) Parse into individual fields
3) Store in a DB2 table
4) Repeat until all data received
5) Process the entire transaction, making business decisions
6) Formulate a reply and send it.

If so, the very largest 'atom' of data would be about 12k - well within
the RPG limits for character variables. I myself often over-think
things; I'm not seeing the problem with your scenario vis à vis RPG
restrictions.
