"DIY versioning system" sounds like you may have access to the (CL?) code.

Could you add a series of looped-SNDUSRMSG messages until the user returns a
blank reply, or some kind of special-value?

Tacking the replies together into a single field would potentially give you
TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(9999).

It's not an ideal solution I know. It depends on how tolerant your end users
are, and how badly you need >132 characters.

Subject: SNDUSRMSG need reply longer than 132 characters

We have a DIY versioning system that uses SNDUSRMSG to get the change
descriptions used for check-ins. That works fine except for the 132
character limit for the reply parameter. Anyone know of a way to get a
longer reply to an *INQ message?
