RPG
It is imposable for me to set the length of Variable-Length Field

D ServUser S 30A VARYING
D IDLenth S 3i 0

C Eval %Len(ServUser) = IDLenth
After this statement length of field ServUser still is 30 pos long. In Debug mode I get the message CPF7E2B: Type compatibility error occurred.
Thank you for helping.

I think you can't set the size of that field. It gets input like a string of 5 chars. At that time the field will be 5 big. Why would you do this, with the %Len BIF?

What is the value of IDLenth at the time of execution? Are there multiple definitions of ServUser?
