Support greater than 32K length field in Request and in Response

Change z/OS Connect so that it is possible to identify one field in Request and/or one field in Response where there is no maximum length defined in advance, and that field can support several megabytes of data.

For this requirement, we need one field in Request and one field in Response that we could flag in some way as to allow >32K bytes.

More complex ">32K" scenarios could be the subject of future requirements, but our use case is one field either in Request or Response (or both Request and Response).
