Allow mapping of character fields > 254 Bytes in CDA

Currently Classic Data Architect (CDA) skips over any COBOL Copybook field greater than 254 Characters. It does not issue a warning or error it just skips the field and goes on to mapping the next field. This request will have CDA map character fields > 254 bytes to a target mapping. This is used with Optim Archive and Classic Federation when decommissioning applications from the mainframe.

    Similar requirement for customer implementing VSAM to Kafka replication. Customer has many filler type of fields which larger than 254 bytes. Even if it does not support field length larger than 254, it will be nice to automatically generate fields of 254 bytes.
