Subfield lenght cannot exceed 256 bytes

[Sanjiv Hati <hattys@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I am using a DS structure in RPG/400 to store a record
from a physical file . The length of the record is
more than 256 bytes. But when I declare the length of
the subfield of the data structure as 9999 and then
compile my program it give compilation error i.e.
subfield length can't exceed 256. The basic purpose is
to pass this subfield as parameter to another pgm.

I want to pass charater data as parameter with length
9999 to another pgm (or more than 9999) specifically
in RPG/400.

Can anyone provide with a solution.

Thank you in advance.
