Re: Subfield lenght cannot exceed 256 bytes

Hi Sanjiv,

Without knowing more details, I'd say give the data structure a name, and
pass it as the parm rather than attempting to pass a subfield. I'm assuming
that you wish to pass the entire record from the physical file. If that's
not the case, I'd need some more details.
