John,

No no variable in AREV may exceed 64k. You can chain multiple variables together to try to make it appear as if you have more.

John:

Am I assuming correctly that you are describing sequential access to a flat file at the DOS level?

If so, you need to use OSBREAD and OSBWRITE instead of OSREAD and OSWRITE to get past the 64K barrier.

If this is not what you are referring to, I apologize.
