Compile error - why?

Hi,

I'm getting a compile error on this.  What is that rationale for not
allowing one to move from a date field into a VARYING alpha field?  This
machine is on V4R5, btw.  Now it looks like I'll have to declare a
non-varying field to accept the data, and then do an extra move or eval to
get the data over into $tagval.

D work_date       S               D
D $tagval         s            512    VARYING
C     *usa          movel     work_date     $tagval

*RNF7560 30      1 Variable-length field is not allowed with this operation.

Curious.


Regards,
Rich
