RE: Redbook on iSeries limits

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Coworker here was trying to do a recursive call with a subprocedure 
handling an array.  Other than that, I've tried not to delve too much into 
his problem.  I tossed out user lists, user indexes, etc as suggestions 
and ducked.  He's in the camp of people that have used api's and user 
lists before so they're not the boogyman that some people think they are. 
He's pretty creative so I left him alone.

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.

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.
