I'm writting a script that needs to deterimine the length of a char
value...its easy enough to put length ('my data value') which
evalulates to 13, but when I concatonate it, it says...
SQL0440N No authorized routine named "||" of "FUNCTION" having
compatible arguments was found....
How can I get this to work?
select (space (1) || repeat('0',7) || length ('Some Data String'))
2  5549 
|| and its twin CONCATENATE expect a string argument. Just wrap, e.g.,
CHAR around your call to LENGTH (i.e., CHAR(LENGTH('Some Data
String'))) and you should be good-to-go.

Note also that when using CHAR, some RTRIMing may be in order, e.g.,
VALUES RTRIM(CHAR(LENGTH('SOME DATA STRING')))||' HELLO, WORLD'
1
------------------------
16 HELLO, WORLD
vs.
VALUES CHAR(LENGTH('SOME DATA STRING'))||'HELLO, WORLD'
1
-----------------------
16 HELLO, WORLD
