thanks for reporting this. I had thought that LENGTH only should work
with constants, but it is easy to alter this. It raises a couple of
questions:

   (i)   does LENGTH(a) behave like HIGH(a)+1 for an open array
         or                         strlen(a)

   (ii)  within constant expressions, presumably LENGTH is limited to
         a constant parameter.

thanks Gaius
