In this example of calling QSYRUSRI, they call getOutputSize() to get 
the size of an output parameter.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=ssw_ibm_i_74/rzahh/pcmldata.htm#pcmldata__pcmlqsyrusri

Assuming getOutputSize() only works with usage="output", maybe you could 
define another dummy program with the struct defined with 
usage="output", and get the size of that parameter.

Something like this, a bit kludgy, but maybe it will work ...

   <program name="rnwc0300Size">
     <data name="rnwc" type="struct" struct="rnwc0300"
           usage="output"/>
   </program>

   ...

   pcml.setValue("qycdrnwc.reqdataLength",
                 pcml.getOutputsize("rnwc0300Size.rnwc"));
