PM91158: LENGTH OF VARCHAR COLUMN IN DATABASE IS DOUBLED IN LENGTH IN THE REPORT STUDIO XML OUTPUT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running an XML report in Report Studio 10.1.1 shows the length
  of a varchar column as double the length plus two compared to
  the column length in the Oracle 10g database.  So if the length
  is 10 in the database, the XML report output shows length of 22
  and if the length is 90 in the database, the XML report output
  shows 182.
