Handling large character strings pre V6R1

I see that at V6R1 the maximum character field length has increased to
16Mb. Fantastic but that doesn't help me at V5R4.

Basically, I want to use the %XML BIF in conjunction with XML-SAX op code to
do some xml parsing on documents up to around 200K. I know I could drop the
document to disk but I want to keep in memory since I receive the data from
an MQ Queue into an array (200 elements of 1Kb). Loading from MQ at array
(not element) level works fine but the compiler complains if I attempt to
pass this array to %XML.

Is there a workaround to load more than the max of 65535 characters into
%XML?

I've looked at arrays and multi occuring data structures but didn't come up
with anything. Also, considered unnamed data structures as they have
sufficient length but unsure how to use without a handle?

Thanks

Keith
