Yes, these 32767 objects include all the field names, labels,
etc in the MI code.  The CPF6301 message is a bit misleading
in that it's not really a compiler error, but rather, you're
bumping into the architected limit of the MI processor.

What to do?  You could break up your program into 2 or more
smaller programs to stay away from the limit.

But probably the better course of action would be to convert
your program to RPG IV.  The ILE RPG IV compiler can generally
compile larger programs (not to mention lots of other
advantages).  Read Chapter 3 of the ILE RPG Programmers Guide.
In particular, the section "Strategy 1: OPM-Compatible
Application", which describes how to mix ILE and OPM programs
in the same application.
