GOAL:
4GL. RECORD-LENGTH function
GOAL:
How to determine the length of a record within a database.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progess 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
The RECORD-LENGTH function will return the length of the record that is currently in the record buffer, this means that it is equal to the sum of all the fields of the record.
Progress works with dynamic variable length for Records thus the records of a same table will have different lengths.
Example based on the sports2000 database:
find first customer no-lock.
disp record-length(customer).
