Returns the length of a record in a buffer as an INTEGER value.
Syntax
RECORD-LENGTH ( buffer )
buffer
A database buffer containing a record.
Notes
The RECORD-LENGTH function is especially useful when implementing ABL-based database replication, which involves storing entire database records in log record fields. ABL 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.
