When the RPG compiler generates PCML, it defines a struct for
character-varying parameters.  But the RPG compiler won't generate PCML
for character-varying subfields or arrays because they can't be properly
described in PCML.

Here's the PCML generated by the compiler for the RPG module below.

<pcml version="4.0">

         <data name="string" type="char" length="length" usage="inherit"
/>
      </struct>
   </program>
