Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Even today SEU (I had said PDM) will not edit a source PF with record 
length > 252 - never has been able to. We've been able to specify a 
length up to 32,766 since at least V3R2 - that's the oldest CL reference 
I have access to.

So this length thing isn't the nail - just the built-in issues when you 
deal with syntax checking of things no longer understood by SEU.
