Bill,
  Don't hesitate to convert programs to RPG IV to overcome limits like 
this.  Create a new source file QRPGLESRC RCDLEN(112) and CVTRPGSRC. You'll 
quickly come to appreciate the relaxed constraints that RPG400 imposes, 
even if you never use a single RPG IV feature.

  The *only* gotcha that I've run across is when your old RPG400 program is 
compiled IGNDECERR(*YES) and you really have invalid decimal data.  RPG IV 
has a FIXDECERR(*YES) parameter, but it logs each occurrence of fixed data 
to the job log, and slows performance hideously.
