	<Prev	Next>		<<First	<Prev	Next>	Last>>

In the layout we specify something like the below:

     .LAYOUT INSLAYOUT;
     .FIELD  NAME                  *   VARCHAR(10);
     .FIELD  AMT1                  *   VARCHAR(20);
     .FIELD  AMT2                  *   VARCHAR(20);

Can someone tell me what is the significance of VARCHAR(xx) in the above.

I initially tried giving a longer input than the one specified for each field thinking that MLOAD will automatically truncate the exceeded length than specified, but the job abended.

Can someone help me !

Thanks.
