Yes.  I seem to recall the compiler pukes at 32766 lines of code (that's total,
including any /copy inclusions).  I think 50 files is the limit for any
program.  I don't know a bout a maximum program size under OPM.  I remember
generating som VERY large programs at SSA and we would run into the line size
limit or the file limit constantly.

The quick and dirty work around was to convert the OPM program to ILE via
CVTRPGSRC.  ILE's limits are substantially higher than OPM's.
