What happens if you then change the length of the field back to 6?

You would end up with the value of '123'.
The result of the way you used the function would set the length of WksStr
to 3 bytes.
If you assigned another variable the value of WksStr it's value would also
end up being '123'.
As long as it was at least three bytes long.

The question is this:



D WksStr             s                     5        VARYING INZ('12345')




C                        EVAL               %len(WrkStr)=3


What is the WrkStr value????

Is   '345'
Or         '123'
