Re: Varying fields in a data structure

PM:
My question is if I create a data structure like shown below, since
Field1
and Field2 are varying, is my data structure always consuming 514 bytes
as
it shows in the compile listing

The data structure always occupies the full 514 bytes and the
subfields always start in the same position with the data structure. The
only thing that changes is how much of each subfield is actually used. The
first two bytes of each subfield contains the character-encoded binary
length of how much of the subfields are being used.

Sincerely,
