1. character/longchar interchangeability. Note that this is related to integer/int64 and date/datetime/datetime-tz, when OUTPUT parameters are used (all cases should use some common approach). See notes 23 and 25 of #1884
2. implement the character limitation related to length.
3. the hard part will be to determine how the codepage and -cpinternal
can be implemented (I suspect we could use "file.encoding" property to some extent).
4. implement the codepage-related statements/functions:
FIX-CODEPAGE(lc) = codepage IS-CODEPAGE-FIXED(lc) GET-CODEPAGE(lc) CODEPAGE-CONVERT(c/lc,target_codepage,source_codepage) - also for CHARACTER type but not implemented NORMALIZE(c/lc)
