RE: Record Length ...

Thanks,

But it gives bytes for "current status of field". i.e. if field is empty or filled it will be different.

This makes the assumption that at least one record must be having all fields filled except CHAR, to know the maxm recd length. Right ?

vsize( <name of the field> ). You can use it through PL/SQL or SQL.
