Hi Benjamin,
If you're unloading using DSNTIAUL, give any record length and it will take what is required!
Or, if you're doing it through a COBOL program, you need to have 2 Bytes reserved for the length part of the VARCHAR field.
If the field is declared as FIELD_1 VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, the COBOL representation will be
| Code: |
01 FIELD-1.
10 FIELD-1-LEN PIC S9(4) COMP.
10 FIELD-1-TEXT PIC X(100). |
So, in brief, you need to have 102 bytes reserved for the VARCHAR field you mentioned, in the output file.
Cheers, Twissi. |

Hi,
the length of the file will be 100. In case of unload table try to use 'DSNUPROC' instead of 'ADUUMAIN' jcl utility.
DSNUPROC---- this jcl utility will take the varchar(100) as 100 length.
ADUUMAIN-----this jcl utility takes the system defined length.
