RE: Max length of a VARYING field

Given that IBM will be changing the maximum size of a varying length field
and there is currently no %MaxLen BIF - wouldn't this solution be
safer/better? It could be placed in the INZSR for each of the variables in
question. If there is concern over the Xs being left laying about, then the
*INZSR could simply add an varyField = ''; to reset it.


You could always

d varyField s 1234a Varying Inz(*ALL'X')
d maxLen s 10i 0 Inz

/Free

maxLen = %Len(varyField);
dsply ('Max length of varyField is ' + %char(maxLen));

*InLR = *On;

/End-free
