RE: Help... %Len initializing field ?

I vaguely remember the change in %len always initialising the field.  Your
solution to setting the length is quite elegant.  For the archives, I set
the length to maximum (which is expensive because of initialising the field
to *BLANKS), load up the based field and then set the length down to the
actual size.
