Actually, what I remember reading is that IBM will try to change the 
returned format only by adding fields after the end of the fields defined 
in the format for the previous release.  Thus, a program which uses the
format-length returned by the API can continue to work across release updates.
     
     I was about to reply off the cuff, but instead did some homework.  You 
     are correct: the FLDL0100 format of the QUSLFLD API has changed in 
     v4r4.
     
     As you say, the length of each list entry is returned by the API, so 
     it shouldn't present a major technical issue.  Except that you still 
     can't FTP a user space...
