Just my take on it, %size returns the number of bytes in storage to be allocated, which is known by the compiler. %len itself is concerned with the data value. Since TEMPLATE definitions do not allocate storage, then there can be no data, therefore no length.

Subject: RNF0655 The item defined with the TEMPLATE keyword cannot be used in this context
Just curious why an item defined with the TEMPLATE keyword is valid as
%SIZE's argument but not for %LEN.
TIA
