Well, my module doesn’t compile now as it did before with %Len on a fixed length variable from a Template DS

And I don’t know why

Well now it seems we were both right. Although I think that %Len not working for fixed length fields is a bug. It should only be %Len on a varchar that doesn't work since it cannot be determined at compile time.

%Size does work and should be fine in this context.

For example this complies (7.4) just fine.

dcl-ds myDs_T Template;
charFld char(5);
numFld zoned(7);
End-Ds;

dcl-s x int(5);

x = %Size(charFld);
