Progress
Language Reference
RECORD-LENGTH Function
Returns the length of a record in a buffer.
SYNTAX
buffer
A database buffer containing a record.
NOTE
The RECORD-LENGTH function is especially useful when implementing 4GL-based database replication, which involves storing entire database records in log record fields. Progress limits records to 32K. Before you transfer a record to a raw field in another record, you can use RECORD-LENGTH to ensure that you are not expanding the record beyond the 32K limit.
