LENGTH OF special register

Through the LENGTH OF special register, you no longer need to pass explicit length arguments on many of the CICS commands where length is required. You can use the LENGTH OF special register in COBOL statements as if it were an explicitly defined numeric data item. You can obtain information about the number of characters that a data item occupies in the program.
