RE: AW: VARLEN field read into LIKEREC DS

Basically what I thought. The compiler stops you from doing it and that 
confirms Barbara statements. 

I used the OPDESC before VARYING. Just going to have to be more careful about 
the size of VARYING fields.

>>Given that we have a procedure with a VARYING string of 32767 passed by

going to happen?

A pointer to the 20 byte field is passed to the procedure.
But if you do not specify neither VALUE nor CONST your calling procedure
will not compile.
