RE: Quick RPG String Question

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,
My version of SEU doesn't like strings greater than 32k on V4R5, however the
code still compiles and runs fine when I use 64k strings.

Subject: Quick RPG String Question

I happened to stumble across a message on
comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc from Barbara Morris where she said
that the max size string RPG can handle has been 64k since
V4R2 (with PTF for early versions), but the compiler and
syntax checker wasn't updated that soon.

Now, I believe its V5R1 where this size was announced.  So,
my question is this.

I create an app on  a V5Rxx machine and use 64k strings.
 If I move that app to a V4R5 machine, will it function
properly?  Or I will I run into "unpredictable results"?

Brad
