Re: Anybody know of any tricks for getting a 16200-byte command buffer (to be passed to QCMDCHK and QCMDEXC) in OPM RPG?

Crazy idea - how about using the system() C-runtime API? The only parameter is the command string. All you need to do is call your source a CLLE type and ba-da-bing!!

Uh, Vern, what does ILE CL have to do with OPM RPG?

At any rate, I think I've found a workable answer: make the existing 2000-byte command buffer (already an array in a DS) a multiple-occurrence data structure. 9 occurrences would be enough to more than cover the subject at hand, and only a large QRYSLT clause would have any possibility of exceeding the size of a single occurrence.

Or even better: only two occurrences, but make them 9000 bytes.
