Re: Iseries 65 Kb limit?

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome Ralf...

First thing, if you're not using HTTPAPI on this project, then this is
probably the wrong list to post the question.

I'd recommend the MIDRANGE-L, RPG-L (both at www.midrange.com) or the
systeminetwork.com forums.

Assuming you are using HTTPAPI...

In any event, the iSeries itself doesn't have a 64KB limit, generally
the i itself has a 16MB limit, but even that limit can be broken by
the use of what's known as TERASPACE.

However,  RPG at v5r4 for example does have a limit of 65KB for
individual fields.

Now at 6.1 (aka v7r1) and higher, RPG limits are about 16MB
(16,773,100 bytes) for a varying length field.

HTH,
Charles Wilt
