Accept the incoming data as a CLOB. Define as an SQL Data type in your RPG similar to:
d parm_xml_in s SQLTYPE(CLOB:1048576)
this will create a 1M CLOB to read into your program. The SQL pre-compiler will break the variable into two parts...the data itself and the actual length of the data (the number of bytes used of the CLOB).
In the example, you can access these variable as parm_xml_in _data and parm_xml_in _len. The SQL pre-compiler automatically created these variables. The variable with the '_data' suffix can be manipulated using all (so far!) of the typical character manipulation methods and can be parsed by the XML-INTO opcode.
XML-INTO(E) target_variable %xml(parm_xml_in_data: 'allowmissing=yes allowextra=yes case=any');

Subject: Data string greater than 65k
Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V5r4
Here is my problem
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 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?
As always - any and all responses gratefully accepted
