Re: Stored Procedure and VarChar Content Length

Dave,

The documentation would be located in the SQL Reference Manual appropiate
to your Release Level (Check IBM's knowledge Center).

For example, my (electronically) dog-eared V5R3 PDF states that:
"The result is the length of the argument. The length of strings includes
blanks. The length of a varying-length string is the actual length, not the
length attribute."

HTH,

Luis

I have a stored procedure with a couple of variables defined as
follows:

Declare Str1 VarChar(3000);
Declare StrLen Dec(15,5);

I then build the value of this variable with several
concatenations. How do I then set the second variable to the length of
the content of the first? I guessed at it and the following seems to be
correct.

Set StrLen = Length(Str1);

But I don't like having to guess. Where do I find documentation
on such things? Thanks.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
