OK, but then the documentation is, let's say, not very precise :-)

The reference says for %len:
- 'For character, graphic, or UCS-2 expressions the value returned is the number of characters in the value
of the expression.'
- 'For all other data types, the value returned is the number of bytes of the value.'

Thanks Joep. We'll look into clarifying the documentation.
