hi Marco,
%SIZE works at compile-time. As your program is compiled, the compiler
takes the total size of the object (variable, DS, etc) and inserts it in
place of the %SIZE BIF.
%LEN works at run-time. It checks the current length of the item (not
based on it's definition, but based on the data inside it -- for
example, a VARYING string can have a different length based on the data
inside of it.) Since a TEMPLATE field cannot store data, it does not
make sense to use it with %LEN.

Just curious why an item defined with the TEMPLATE keyword is valid as
%SIZE's argument but not for %LEN.
TIA
