RE: Data string greater than 65k

Thanks for your reply Buck
The data is received via web service

The general solution to this situation is to use a sliding window. Say they send a megabyte. You read the first 64k, accumulate it somewhere (a stream file?) and read the next 64k etc.

Do you have an example of this?
I also thought of that, but cant see how to implement it

We are attempting to utilize a new courier and their process is to
send a data string that is ultimately a pdf, but the data string is
greater than 65k - which I believe is the limitation on this release

How is 'send a string' implemented? FTP, web service, raw sockets, RPC, something else?

I have tried to google anything to see if anything is available to get
the end result so that it can be printed - but have not succeeded Does anyone have any tricks up there sleeve?
