%LEN returns the declared length of a field.
%SIZE returns the number of bytes of memory a field occupies.
So a 500-byte character field returns 500 for either built-in function.
A Packed(7,2) field will return 7 with %LEN and 4 with %SIZE.
%LEN also returns the "current" length of a varying length field, whereas
%SIZE will return the max length (i.e., the declared length) of the 
varying
length field.
