["Reger, Bill" <breger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an example from the DDS Reference manual:

3.59.1 VARLEN (Variable-Length Field) Keyword--Example
 
Figure 3-83 shows how to specify the VARLEN keyword for a physical file.

  00010A          R RECORD1
  00020A            FIELD1       100A         VARLEN(30)
  00030A            FIELD2       200A         VARLEN
       A
 
 
Figure  3-83. Specifying the VARLEN Keyword
 
FIELD1 is defined as a variable-length field with a maximum length of 100
and an allocated length of 30. FIELD2 is defined as a variable-length 
field with a maximum length of 200 and no allocated length.

                We have a customer running OS/400 V3R7 and wishs to utilize
variable length
                fields in a data file.  Anyone know if, and how, they can
use ILE RPG to set
                variable length fields from ILE RPG?
