This V5R1 source compiles and runs back to V4R4:
PGM

DCL &large      *CHAR 4096

ChgVar &large ' '
ChgVar %sst(&large 2001 4) '2001'

if (&large *ne ' ') do
  sndpgmmsg  'Have data' topgmq(*ext)
enddo

ENDPGM

It debugs in all three green screen debuggers:
STRDBG OPMSRC(*NO) addbkp 800, dsppgmvar '&large' start(2001)
STRDBG OPMSRC(*YES) eval %substr(&large 2001 512)
STRISDB d (2001)&large
  --buck
