Re: BIF's question.

You would end up with the value of '123'.
The result of the way you used the function would set the length of WksStr
to 3 bytes.
If you assigned another variable the value of WksStr it's value would also
end up being '123'.
As long as it was at least three bytes long.

Subject:  BIF's question.


The question is this:



D WksStr             s                     5        VARYING INZ('12345')




C                        EVAL               %len(WrkStr)=3


What is the WrkStr value????

Is   '345'
Or         '123'
