As far as my knowledge if there is a VARCHAR in table then
its host variable should have the length field and data
field. I feel you have to populate bothe the fields in order
to update the VARCHAR field. please get it confirmed also.

Answer / priyanka
If a variable is defined as varchar, the filed will have a
length variable also. Before updating the value 'X', you
need to move the length of the new value to length filed
of 'X'.
Eg: If you want to update 'TEST' in 'X'.
MOVE LENGTH OF 'TEST' TO X-LENGTH
exec sql
UPDATE table
SET X = 'TEST'
Where clause
end-exec

Use update query in the COBOL program inside the DB2 code

WHERE CLAUSE
END-EXEC
