I Agree with Paul, 6000 Characters for a query? that will make your program
very complicated, what I would do if I were you I would work my sql in
modules or pieces better said and for every piece I would produce the result
in global temporary table and work from my global temporary table, it is not
a good practice to have a so big sql in just one line.

The length of your statement may be a red-herring. Are you getting
the error on compile or on execution?
Is the returned data being truncated in one of your receiving variables?

Is there a "trick" to programming a long complex (6000 character) SQL
statement in RPG?

We keep getting a "variable truncated" error message.
