Re: writing large single record stream file

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

When writing directly to an IFS file and there are no limits.

You can only write so many bytes at one (depending on your version of RPG)
since RPG source fields have a max_size.  But you can fill and empty that
max size buffer as many times as you need to.
