ANY and ADB Types
12-1
The ANY and ADB types can contain any sort of data. The type can be changed dynamically by attaching a map at runtime.
External Form -- Input and Output
Any data is accepted and returned unchanged.
Local Form and Behavior
Data is stored as is. If the component has a fixed length exceeding that of the input string, the data is left aligned, and all unreferenced bytes are set to X’00’. If the component cannot contain the number of input bytes supplied, the string is truncated.
Named Values
Named values are not applicable to the ANY and ADB types.
Constraints
Constraints are not applicable to the ANY and ADB types.
