So would this be considered dishonest programming. <BG>

Seriously though, is it safe to assume that it will allocate the amount I
say the length of my content is even though my variable maxes out at 32K?
Assuming QtmhRdStin is written in ILE C (based on the documentation) and
assuming ILE C doesn't have the same variable size limitations RPG has,
wouldn't this work?  I am not a C programmer so I am making some assumptions
here.  What else would it use the "Length of receiver variable" parm for
other than to allocate the appropriate amount of space?

There isn't a max length listed that I can specify for that parm. . .

I don't know what language the API was written in, nor does it really matter. According to the docs, the first parameter is where the results get written to, the second parameter says how big that area is, and the third tells you how many bytes were actually stored in the result. If the receiver of the data is not in reality as big as what you tell the API, then you're going to be overwriting (possibly important) storage.
