Text Variable Overflow?

[Bill Beckner <Bbeckner@ICC.EDU>]

Good evening!

I'm working on a small SQR to load an image into a DB2 table, using a sample
program as a template (thoughtfully 'donated' by Ray O. - Thanks!)

I've run into a small snag though.  According to everything I've read, text
variables ($image_data) can have any length, depending on system memory.  My
program dies when the length of my $image_data variable tries to exceed
32767 characters.  Here is the error message from my log file:

   (SQR 4749) An attempt was made to move 32768 characters into
'$image_data'.
The maximum allowed is 32767 characters.

I'm at a loss as to what the problem is!  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance for
any and all help!!
