However, if you're trying to get myfield to be a variable length field, then you would want options(*varying).


Actually, it's just the VARYING keyword for a fixed-form D spec, or the data-type VARCHAR for free-form.

dcl-pr myProc;
myfield varchar(6) const;
end-pr;

D myProc pr
D myfield 6a varying
