title: Is it possible to base64-encode a file in chunks?
body: <p>I'm trying to base64 encode a huge input file and end up with an text output file, and I'm trying to find out whether it's possible to encode the input file bit-by-bit, or whether I need to encode the entire thing at once.</p>
  
  <p>This will be done on the AS/400 (iSeries), if that makes any difference. I'm using my own base64 encoding routine (written in RPG) which works excellently, and, were it not a case of size limitations, would be fine.</p>
