 >> Uh, there's such a thing as "too big to compile" with RPG-III?  How so
that RPG-IV is not likewise limited?

Yup - it is not that hard to do.  Both JDE and BPCS include programs that
easily max out.  It happens more often with COBOL than RPG because COBOL
programs tend to have more field definitions (if you have the same field
defined in three different files you have three fields - unlike RPG where
you would have only one).

RPG IV doesn't use MI (it uses W-code) so it doesn't encounter these MI
translator related restrictions.
