hey, progress. The problem is I dont think the i5 has enough CPW to
handle feature rich data structures like limitless arrays.

With all your comments lately I'll have to assume you're just baiting the 
bear and not speaking from any facts.

I cant afford to upgrade from v5r1.

Which says one of two things:
1 - You're running on really old hardware and don't want to upgrade, or
2 - You dropped maintenance and don't want to play catch up.
Which tells IBM:  "Here's a fellow who wants to spend no money on 
hardware, or maintenance.  And wants us to spend more money on changes and 
cut our revenues even further so he can continue to spend no money on us. 
Let's be idiots and do it."

Is there a size limit in v5r4 support for XML?
</snip>
I'm not really sure.  I guess it depends on what you think might limit it:
- DB2 Extenders
- V5R4 support for XML in RPGLE.
- Disk size to hold an xml file.
If you're concern is one of the first two solutions then some research may 
pay off.  It's it's anything else that's a different question.
