Couldn't you just use a data structure?

D myDS            DS               Based(pWhatever)
D Big1                       65535A
D Big2                       65535A

Then use %SCAN and %SUBST on the MYDS "field".

First, that particular data structure is not valid since it is
bigger that 65535 bytes long.  Sure, you could use %SCAN to locate
the x'00' character, which would then give you an index, which you
would then add to the address of the field to get the location of
the null.  But incrementing a pointer in a DOW loop is a bit simpler
(IMO), and it works for C strings longer than 65535 characters.
