The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Should the compiler not just set the length of XCVAR1 to 5 when I assign the

It will - but that wasn't what you did - you tried to replace a substring which by definition must already exist. The from/length values must be in range for the field in question. Until you have placed a value in the field (which you effectively did by using %Len) the %Subst can't work.
That's the way it works and since it is consistent with all other uses of %Subst that seems a realistic approach to me.
