A variable length field is a field with a type of V. The size of the field depends on the value, up to the specified characters/digits length. You can use variable length fields anywhere you can use alphanumeric fields, except as noted. The maximum length of a variable length field is 32,000 characters.
You cannot redefine variable length fields or groups containing subordinate variable length fields. Groups that contain subordinate variable length fields are restricted non‑alpha groups. For more information, see the Non‑Alpha Group section in this chapter.
