Re: Why you shouldn't be afraid to use VARCHAR in RPGLE

Marco,

I tried what you listed, and it won't compile. I am running V7R4, with TR 
10. What version are you running?


This is the line in my program:

dcl-s  p_folder             varchar(%len(actclon1));

ACTLON1 is a field in file CONTROL.

I also have this a little further down in the source:

dcl-ds  frf_control  extname('CONTROL');

I get the RNF3320. What is even more strange in this program, is that I 
also have the CONTROL file opened for input in an F spec, and the compiler 
still is complaining. But the message appears to show its complaining 
about the varchar(%len()), not the actual field definition itself. That is 
why I'm thinking I need to maybe have TR 11 installed first.

Thank you,
