If your configuration uses a DBCS code page, you can use the KKFCUT function to truncate a string.
KKFCUT(length, source_string, output)
where:
Integer
Is the length of the source string in bytes. The string can have a mixture of DBCS and SBCS characters. Therefore, the number of bytes represents the maximum number of characters possible in the source string.
Alphanumeric
Is the string that will be truncated.
Alphanumeric
The string will be truncated to the number of bytes in the output field.
In the following, KKFCUT truncates the COUNTRY field (up to 10 bytes long) to A4 format:
COUNTRY_CUT/A4 = KKFCUT(10, COUNTRY, 'A4');
The output in ASCII environments is shown in the following image:
The output in EBCDIC environments is shown in the following image:
