Storage requirements and restrictions

A single Union structure is limited to 16 MB (16,777,216 bytes).  Locally dimensioned Union structures are limited to the amount of free stack space available, typically less than 1 MB.  If larger UDT structures are required, use a STATIC, GLOBAL, or INSTANCE declaration instead, since these are not created on the stack.  The same rules apply to User-Defined Types (and LOCAL fixed-length and ASCIIZ strings).  An individual array within a Union may occupy as much as the full 16 MB Union size limit.
