Re: Assigning the actual length of a variable length field.

Thanks Barb - I did make changes that resulted in reflecting your 
statement(s). My setting String_V to blanks is just an old habit from 
waaaaay back. It was always sort of self documenting for me :) I need to 
get out of that habit! Below is my code as it is now and its working as I 
had hoped. 

C                   Eval      String_V = %TrimR(String) + Ifs_RecEnd + 
x'00' 
 * Open the IFS file for update and write the updated string...   
C                   Eval      File1 = OpenIFS(%TrimR(IFS_Filename):'w')    
 
C                   Callp     WriteIFSRec((String_V):File1)  

Thanks again for your input. After 20+ years this is the first time I've 
used these IFS API's to read and write from RPG. Now I'm armed and 
dangerous :)
