Re: STRPCCMD and CPD0074

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

Changing this would break backward compatibility with 5250 emulators. If 
you changed it, you'd have to find every single 5250 emulator on the 
market (not just PC5250 from IBM i access, but all vendors) so I doubt 
IBM will ever do it.

My approach has been to determine the largest command length I'll need 
beforehand, and only use STRPCCMD for things where a short command 
string is acceptable.

IF I need longer strings, I'll take another approach.
