character string assumed length

If I call a subroutine with a given character string and I try to put
a larger character string in the string than the field size, what happens ? For example:

sub 1:

character*8 abc
call def (abc)

sub 2:

subroutine def (abc)
character*(*) abc
C this string is more than 8 characters
abc = '01234567890123456789'

Thanks,
