Yes he does. The OPM compiler maxes out Working Storage at 16Mb as you discovered. You can go beyond the limit by passing storage from another program and referencing it via Linkage but ...

depending, of course, on the size of your actual
program code.

If you mean constants etc. this is correct but the actual program instructions are not part of the user's storage. With "i" only one copy of the program instructions is ever in memory and is used by all users. It is one of the safety features of the OS that data cannot corrupt program memory - hence the absence of conventional viruses etc. on the platform.
