Yes, you've hit it exactly.  And since I am not a Java Programmer, my advice
on the matter is less than interesting to Those Who Must Be Obeyed ('You are
an iSeries guy.  You do not know about Java.')  Regarding the socket
solution; we've bandied that about, and we were trying to come up with
something that could be swapped out as simply as possible when the network
guys come track me down.  Since we're already using a stored procedure which
returns a result set, the obvious thing is to see how large a result set RPG
can return.  It looks like 16Mb is the reasonable limit without getting into
Teraspace.

There isn't a way to reduce the dataset: it is an itemised corporate
telephone bill for one month, and the spec calls for the end user to be able
to see it all.  Not my spec, but definitely my problem.  For the record, my
proposal is to limit the result set to something in the neighbourhood of a
thousand rows, and use more sophisticated selection criteria (in effect,
alter the spec.)  One issue is that the database does not currently contain
enough columns which are 'interesting' to the end-user; things like their
internal general ledger account and so on.

Thanks for the advice!
