RE: Record size limitation in RPG - MQ Series

Thanks I sit corrected, Mel, as was speaking in generalities when I said
"same thing".  Should-a stated "basically the same".  (Would only add that
allowing 16M for a UsrSpc, iirc, went back to the original design around
late-70's/early-80's.  Back when the HUGEest 38's had mebbe 4M of memory..
Well, CPF generaly had upper limits that were pretty foresightful for it's
time (and mostly still are).)

| The maximum length of a data area is 2,000 characters or, if
