Definition

The symbol value is normally output up to the last character which is not a blank.

If you only require part of the symbol value, or output is in a fixed raster whose width must not be exceeded, you can define how many characters of the value you require via the length specification. If the length specification is larger than the actual length of the value, additional blanks are inserted at the end.

* is also allowed for the length specification for program symbols. The value of the symbol is then returned with the output length defined in the Data Dictionary.

Possible specifications:

        Standard
*         Output length from Data Dictionary
Otherwise    Specified length
