Thank you very much, Jack. Your first suggestion made it to the end, i.e. creating a large string and then use the pointer option, it really helped me. It has been a developing process for a novice Cobol programmer like me. Thanks, Lars.

Hi Jack, I don't know that yet but someone else does, and when I find out, I shall let you know. Regards, Lars.

Now I've got it: the limit for 01-49 data names is 16,777,215 bytes according to the IBM Cobol Language Reference.

As long as it doesn't mean "pants off"!!! Now we get technical and my skills get worse. I've just been working with this for 1½ weeks. I provide you with some words and hope you can make up something of it: MVS, mainframe, OS/390, db2. The string internally resembles an XML document...

Hi there. My mind did set out in that direction, but the problem is that I may read multiple records, and I don't know how many. Perhaps I should start out by writing some routine that finds out how many records to read and then calculates the size. I guess I have some thinking to do. Thanks anyway.
