Perhaps Bob was talking about how it works when you pass in a literal..

If the parm is defined as CONST VARYING, I know the above generally creates
a temporary variable of size 5 + 2 = 7 and passes that into the parm.


If you also had OPTIONS(*VARSIZE), it would only need to create a 7-byte temporary. But if you didn't have OPTIONS(*VARSIZE), it would create a temporary with the full length of the prototyped parameter.
