RE: Value vs. Const

Joel, concerning "what is big".

I'm a big fan of 32767 for my character variables where I don't know what
might be passed into me.  It may seem like a lot, but when you start doing
web programming, working with IFS files, and processing XML you quickly find
yourself making fields quite large.  I have put VARYING into a few of my
apps, but have taken them out because they are buggy and they were
implemented as if RPG wasn't a HLL.  

Based on my last comment, has anybody else run into problems with mixing
fixed length character variables and VARYING when sending parms to a sub
proc?  Or problems when using VARYING variables with C API's?
