Re: RPG Futures (was free form RPG reference)

Stupid question time: Limitless arrays sounds like the goal is to turn the System i into a sort of personal computer for each user, with unlimited resources for each user?

I can live with fixed form Ds - I _can't_ live with the artificial
restrictions I face in array size, DS size, etc.  To me that is a much
bigger problem in these days of XML parsing etc.


hey, progress. The problem is I dont think the i5 has enough CPW to
handle feature rich data structures like limitless arrays. There is
also the issue of the 16meg size limit. I cant afford to upgrade from
v5r1. Is there a size limit in v5r4 support for XML?
