OK, you cracked my confidence. The length from metadata is what? a) length in bytes of declared field b) length in chars of declared field c) length of bytes I should read
I supposed it's c) and I was not thinking it could be otherwise. :) And when I created the string from the bytes - given it's padded because it's CHAR(x) - I saved the length (for validation user is not providing string that's too long as a result), so I knew it without computing it. From your questions I have a feeling, it's a). And that would indeed make it way different. If so I should change it somewhere in Plugin::makeProcedure? Before Procedure::open is called? -- Mgr.
