I'm trying to compile using JDE 4.0 (for compatibility reasons) and I keep gettings the following message:

I/O Error: binary resource too large: C:\workspace\MyProject\fifthqs.dat is 74519 bytes

If I replace fifthqs with a file that is smaller (about 36KB) everything works fine. I could try chopping the file in half and recombining it in the code, but I'd rather not resort to that.

Is there any way to get around the file size limit?

i see what your problem is - your binary resource is too large.

Well I decided to try JDE 4.1.0 and it works with the larger files.

I just got a similar problem on another project. This time the error is:

I/O Error: output file: MyProjectBlackBerry-1.cod code section too large: 68752 bytes.

Does this mean there's too much code? Or is it just too much code in one file/class? Can I break it up?

There's about 14000 lines (I didn't write it, I'm just porting it to BlackBerry).

Let the compiler limit the size of the generated cod files.
You do this by adding the following to the compiler commad: -vtablefull = size; where size could be 20000 for example. It has to be less than 64k.
So your command will start like this:

C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.0\bin\rapc.exe" -vtablefull=20000 ...etc

I just tried that and it doesn't seem to work. I decided to factor some of the methods out into another class and that seems to have fixed the problem. It also appears that making variables and methods static removes them from the total size of the data and code sections respectively.
