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

At 6.1 the size limits were increased, and it looks like LEN was added at 6.1 also.

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

Got this from IBM support in response to a PMR. The compiler would fail with RNF3602 but the documentation clearly states that you can declare variables larger than 10 meg.

UCS-2 and Graphic (Double Byte Character Set) variables are limited to lengths of 8386552 characters for both. The Len keyword is not required.
