I have an RPG program that is having a problem with var length fields.
I get the error 'unexpected null value' How can I fix this?

We really need a bit more info than that. But the most common cause of varying length problems is incorrect initialization due to including it in a DS that has no INZ keyword and no INZ on the field itself.

Since you are getting a null error though we're probably going to need to see some code.
