BIF Nesting

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxx>]

To all:

I want the actual length of a field and was under the impression you
could nest BIFs as in the following:

        Eval      Len = %Size(%Trim(SomeField))

The compiler (CRTRPGMOD) gives me "RNF0321 - Parameter %TRIM(SOMEFIELD)
for %SIZE is not valid;  %SIZE is ignored."

The RPGIV manuals don't show or reference this specific example, but
Bryan Meyers' book "RPG IV Jump Start" specifically says you can do
this, with this actual example.  I was even sure I had done it somewhere
else, but a FNDSTRPDM shows no hits, so I guess I haven't.

I'm on a V3R2 CISC so %Len is not available.  Does anybody know for
sure?  PTF?
