RE: [WEB400] QtmhRdStin and QzhbCgiParse Limitation

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What specifically about the documentation for "QtmhRdStin" would 
lead you to believe that it would allocate the storage for you? Note 
that you're passing in the receiving field by reference, and so the 
data should get written to that variable. You're telling the API by 
the value in the second parameter that the receiving field is big 
enough for that amount of data, and the API has no reason to suspect 
you of lying to it.

So would this be considered dishonest programming. <BG>

Seriously though, is it safe to assume that it will allocate the amount I
say the length of my content is even though my variable maxes out at 32K?
Assuming QtmhRdStin is written in ILE C (based on the documentation) and
assuming ILE C doesn't have the same variable size limitations RPG has,
wouldn't this work?  I am not a C programmer so I am making some assumptions
here.  What else would it use the "Length of receiver variable" parm for
other than to allocate the appropriate amount of space?

There isn't a max length listed that I can specify for that parm. . .
