For writing XML I've managed to live with the 32k field size limit, but reading XML written by someone else ... we have no control over what they send. We could read it in VB and export shortened XML ... but it's an extra process, and we like RPG.

I thought you said earlier that you were on V7? The 32K limit in RPG actually disappeared back in ... hmmmm ... V4Rsomthing and went up to 64K. In V6 it went up to 16Mb.

That said - I suspect it may not help you with your problem because there may still be an underlying limit in the underlying interfaces that would preclude you from receiving the data.

This works for me at V7 and the XML-INTO completes with 80,000+ characters in the field.

xml_doc = '<Outer><bigField>';
for i = 1 to 30000;
xml_doc += 'More data entry #' + %Char(i) + ':';

if %len(xml_doc) > 80000; // Too lazy to work out exact limit!!
leave;
endif;

endfor;
xml_doc += '</bigField></Outer>';

%XML(xml_doc :
