LOCSTG(x) returns a FIXED BIN value that specifies the number of bytes that are needed for the storage to hold all the elements of x that have the LOCATES attributes.
The return value has type FIXED BIN(63) under CMPAT(V3); otherwise, it has type FIXED BIN(31).
>>-LOCSTG(x)---------------------------------------------------><
- x
- Must be a reference that has the LOCATES attribute or contains subelements that have the LOCATES attribute.
Example
With the following declaration, the reference locstag(data) returns the value 96*actual_count:
declare
1 data based(data_ptr) unaligned,
2 actual_count fixed bin(31),
2 orderinfo(order_count refer( actual_count)),
3 name offset(pool) locates(char(30) varying),
3 address offset(pool) locates(char(62) varying),
2 pool area(10_000);
