Subject: RE: RNF3602 Entry is not blank for a field definition;

For the archives, to declare a character variable with more than
9999999 characters use the LEN keyword, e.g..


D bigChar S A Len(16773104)
D bigVarChar S A Len(16773100) Varying

Good to know. Doesn't seem to work at V5R3, but something to anticipate.
:) Thanks.
