RE: Assigning the actual length of a variable length field. ALL DONE :)

Scott: "This prototype is wrong, but not in the way I expected it to be!"
I changed it to use the 10I 0 definition, and then implemented suggestion 
a) that you provided (below):
a) do not use %addr() or a pointer for the first parameter!  You should 
code your variable name directly, or if you want to remove blanks, put it 
inside a %trim() or %trimr().  Do not use %addr or a pointer when you have 

options(*string) coded.

This results in my file being 1k, and it does not contain the leading hex 
chartacters representing the length of the variable length data. 

I'm all done with this part of the application. That was the last piece 
and now I can start testing the full application in its entirety.

Thanks again for your help!

Regards, Jerry
