Well, the %scan and %subst bif's won't deal with a block of storage
larger than 64k (at 5.4).

I would need to use C api's to handle that (like strstr, etc).


it is easy enough in RPG to work with teraspace data. And the C functions
can be prototyped and used in RPG.

** ------------------- ts_alloc -----------------------------
dts_alloc pr *
d extproc('_C_TS_malloc')
d InSx 10u 0 value

** ------------------- ts_free ------------------------------
dts_free pr
d extproc('_C_TS_free')
d pInData * value
