Why not just use the definition of the field you need to place there as a reference? You implied that it is externally described.

I have a data record defined in an RPG program. The length is unknown to me; it is defined by reference. I wish to put that record into a hidden field in the subfile so I can have the original data available when needed.

What I usually do is just define an arbitrarily too-long a hidden field. It occurs to me that there is probably a better way?
