Re: Passing *varsize parameter to another procedure

That fits my understanding, as well. Seems that *VARSIZE effectively turns off length validation - so you can send shorter or longer values or variables. Neither end really knows how much is being passed - hence, use another parameter for that.

Do you mean "without" losing the original length?
It's my understanding that when you use *varsize you should be sending
another parameter stating the length of the field.

Subject: Passing *varsize parameter to another procedure

Can somebody suggest the best way to pass a *varsize parameter to a
*varsize parameter of another procedure with losing the original length
of the variable?
