Rname

The length of Rname is determined as follows:

  • If the name is between two single quotation marks, the length is the number of characters between the quotation marks (including leading and trailing blanks).
  • If the name is not between quotation marks, the actual length is the number of characters, from the first position in the Rname field (including blanks, if any) to the last non-blank character in the field.

  • N (No) — Time is not calculated. Default.
