hi..

ur statement works in <b>Non unicode systems</b> but to work that statement in unicode systems u need to use either character mode or bytes mode.. ( or in attributes u uncheck the checkbox for unicode, then your program becomes non unicode program, then it works with out any error)

this statement will work..

<b>DESCRIBE FIELD V_PWD LENGTH V_DSTLEN in character mode.</b>

This is for unicode systems..

reward if it helps u,,,

... IN CHARACTER MODE

Effect

This addition can only be used for character-type fields and in combination with the addition LENGTH. The length of the field f is determined in characters.

Addition 3

... IN BYTE MODE

Effect

This addition can only be used in combination with the addition LENGTH. The length of the field f is determined in bytes.

Use in character mode addition with your describe statement.
