When setting the DATA item, in general the variable must have the same data type, length, precision, scale, and CCSID as specified in Table 56. For variable-length types, the variable length must not be less than the LENGTH in the descriptor. For C nul-terminated types, the variable length must be at least one greater than the LENGTH in the descriptor.
If the descriptor item to be set is DATA, constant-2 cannot be specified.
