While it's true that RPG has a 64k limit for a data structure or alphanumeric variable, RPG can work with pointers to access memory far beyond the 64k limit, all the way into the terabytes.

Please do not artificially limit the size of data sent to RPG programs, since it makes things more difficult for those of us who want to work around those limits with pointers.

I believe 65535 is a language limitation of RPG. Other language such as
COBOL do not appear to have this limitation. In COBOL, the maximum length
of a character field is 16711568.
