With the new version of Mq the maximum message size is 100 mb.
However - even with the highly appreciated extension of maximum
variable size in RPG - the maximum size in RPGLE is 16mb. Even the
%ALLOC statement signals 16 meg as the maximum size it can allocate to
a pointer.
Is it likely that IBM will extend the options beyond the 16mb limit in
a coming release?
Is there any work-around available?
I cannot speak for IBM's plans, but I can say that this is not an RPG-only
limitation. It is a limitation of 24-bit addressing that's implemented in
many (most?) objects throughout the i architecture. For example, this is
the maximum size of a user space also. Without knowing the construction of
a pointer, I'd be willing to bet small dollars that the pointer data type
also is comprised of a 24-bit address, limiting the value of such an
increase from a practicability standpoint.
Because of this, I have copied your message to midrange-l for further
discussion. (David may want to slap my hands for this; let's find out.)
