The "CONVERT TEXT t INTO SORTABLE CODE sc" statement converts a text field t to a sortable format appropriate for the locale and stores it in the field sc. Here, the immediately sortable format requires considerably more space than the source text. - In this particular case, the source field <runtime parameter> of type <runtime parameter> has a length of <runtime parameter> bytes and the target field <runtime parameter> a length of <runtime parameter> bytes. However, the sortable format of the source field contents <runtime parameter> appropriate for the locale takes up <runtime parameter> bytes and therfore does not fit into the target field <runtime parameter>.
