RE: Multi-field dynamic array

No, but a bit difficult to sort it. <g>
Actually there is a tool/product that one of the original developers of CPF
(and user spaces) created. While this tool has limited market value, it does
allow you to link together multiple user spaces. If you try to grab
something beyond the 16MB boundary, the tool traps the exception and
redirects you into another user space.  

Another option is mmap() and a "memory-map" file. However mmap documentation
doesn't sync with what actually happens. The docs imply that an IFS file can
be mapped to memory and when written to file/memory the file size will
extend. However, this does not happen, and there is no PTF for it.

Not that hard to open another user space if you reach the limit ;-)

Well, you are limited to 16MB (shouldn't be a problem, but I have run
into
it).
