The obvious benefit is savings in disk space. Thus reduced
row length means more rows per page which means lesser
getpages. Fewer getpages mean less locks hence less CPU
costs and less I/O. Use of VARCHAR reduces the number of
bytes passed between DB2 and application. There is a CPU
cost associated with each byte of data moved.
