the data that is entered determines the number of bytes that are used for
the comparison.</p>
<p>If the actual data in the variable-length from-field is shorter
than the value specified for the INCREL parameter, the from-field data is
padded with single-byte blanks (<span>X'40'</span>) for the comparison.</p>
