<h1 class="topictitle1">Variable-length fields used by the INCCHAR parameter</h1>
<div><p>When you specify *RCD for the INCCHAR parameter, the starting position
represents the position in the buffer. The 2-byte length field of variable-length
fields must be considered when determining the position.</p>
<p> Use single-byte blanks (<span>X'40'</span>) to pad variable-length fields
if the INCCHAR value spans multiple fields.</p>
<p>You can specify variable-length fields for the INCCHAR string when you
specify a field name. The starting position represents the position in the
data portion of the variable-length from-field value. The number of bytes
that are compared is the number of bytes in the value that is specified for
the INCCHAR string. If the actual data in the variable-length from-field
is shorter than the value specified for the INCCHAR parameter, the from-field
data is padded with single-byte blanks (<span>X'40'</span>) for the comparison.</p>
<p>You cannot specify a zero-length string for the INCCHAR value.</p>
