HELP: Use string format for the length field TYPE: OBJECT SYNTAX: STRING(CHRSET=SYSTEM/ASCII/EBCDIC/LOCAL,COUNT=num/C04/C05/C06,BASE=num/DEC/B10,INCLUDE)
The object defines the binary representation of the length field in string format (a character per digit). You can define the character set, the character count, the base and if the length field will be part of the length value or not.
NUMBER: CHRSET=SYSTEM/ASCII/EBCDIC/LOCAL - Character set [SYSTEM]
SYSTEM - Use default system code page
ASCII - Use ASCII (UTF-8) code page
EBCDIC - Use EBCDIC code page
LOCAL - Use real local code page
NUMBER: COUNT=num/C04/C05/C06 - Character count [C06]
C04 - 4 character/digits
C05 - 5 character/digits
C06 - 6 character/digits
NUMBER: BASE=num/DEC/B10 - String base [B10]
DEC - Decimal base (10)
B10 - Base 10 (decimal)
SWITCH: INCLUDE - Include length field in length value [OFF]
