DISTANCE,<variable_1>,<variable_2>
<variable_1> is assigned the same value as <variable_2> and will get the same type as the first one. The maximum length of <variable_1> and <variable_2> is 32 characters. <variable_2> can be an expression, an integer constant or a decimal constant.
When the DISTANCE statement is used <variable_1> will be scaled with the current scale. This is not the case when the ASSIGN statement is used.
