Tip of the Day: Controlling the maximum length of RETURN variable

Section: Stored Procedures and Triggers

RETURN varname option is used ONLY within a Stored Procedure to return a value.

The returned value is stored in the STP_RETURN system variable. This option
will return an -ERROR- when used outside a Stored Procedure. The default is
TEXT 8 characters, but if you want more, you can set it to a larger value.
You can control the maximum length at procedure definition time, or by editing
the SYS_PROC_LEN column in SYS_PROC_COLS system table.

Example 01:

PUT MyTest.PRC AS MyTest P1 INTEGER RETURN TEXT (30) will set the limit for
the RETURN value at 30 characters.
