One thing I've heard is that V4R5 will include 8-byte binary field support.
Does anyone (are you listening IBM?) know what the biggest number will be
that will fit in an 8-byte binary field?  I need the value to enhance WRKDBF
to support these biggies.

                Has IBM released any details of what's in V4R5?  I've heard
it is due out in
                the second half of this year, but haven't heard what the
changes are.
                Any ideas?
