Yep. But I think I was clear
(http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200705/msg00356.html): "Any
definitions that simply have the VARYING keyword would continue to have
a 2 byte prefix and get a compile-time diagnostic if the length is too
long. And conversely, a varying definition of any size could be
explicitly defined to have a 4 byte prefix."

Yup, that's pretty clear. I missed it.

(Although I still wish you'd let VARYING on a 64K+ field mean a 4-byte
prefix, but then we really WOULD be rehashing the whole discussion <grin>.)
