Does that mean that all I have to do is use %LEN(*MAX) and it will
interrogate the opdesc to determine the maximum length of the VARCHAR

that

was passed? or will %LEN(*MAX) just tell me what I defined as the

maximum

length in the procedure interface?

I'd have to test it. But I bet it is only going to tell you the
prototype-defined max length. I'd think that the operational descriptors
would have to be queried to get the actual passed max length.

Sincerely,
