RE: Redbook on iSeries limits

[Alan Campin <Alan.Campin@xxxxxxx>]

I guess I would ask my normal question. Why would you need to pass a parameter 
that big? It sounds like you are returning some form of an array. Assuming that 
is true, couldn't you just define a procedure to build a list and store it and 
then a procedure to get a count and finally a procedure to retrieve each record 
from a list in a loop. If you are wanting to the opposite, you could define a 
function to create a list or a function to add items to internal list. Hard to 
imagine having a single record bigger than 64k.

Maybe you could a better idea of what you are trying to do.

Subject: Redbook on iSeries limits


Isn't a redbook or some other reference on iSeries limitations?
What is the maximum length of a parameter to a subprocedure?  Is using a 
data structure as a parameter a valid workaround?

I know this is somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
