DBSYNC creates a VB format output file for its REXX exec containing the
commands, and by default will place up to 210 bytes of text into each line,
continuing commands across lines as needed. 

You can change the maximum line length to any value 255 or less.  However,
DBSYNC will only split commands at blanks, so if some string in the command
is longer than the max length, and contains no blanks, it won't be split and
you'll get a longer line.  That processing could be changed, if anyone
really needed to enforce lines shorter than some value.

However, the exec that it creates is a sequential data set, and not one that
you would put into a concatenation, so you'd only need a shorter length for
ease of editing.
