why not make the %len(myVaryFld:*MAX)
%len(myVaryFld:*DATA)
Because when I see %Len(xx:*DATA) it says to me "I want the length of
the data", which we can already get with the ordinary %len() BIF. What
I really want isn't the length of the data, it's the maximum length that
will fit in the variable. Thus, %len(xx:*MAX).
This is different from %addr(). When I do %addr(xx)+2 today, it's my
way of getting the address of the data portion of the VARYING variable.
So %addr(xx:*DATA) makes sense to me in that case.
