Length of received CAN message

I am using toradexcelibraries_v1_7_3275. Within CAN demo,

DWORD CanRxProcess(HANDLE hCan)
{
    INT i;
    tCanMsg canBuf;
    DWORD returnValue;
    BYTE data[8] = {0};   // Rx buffer

    // Configure timeout to 5 sec, by default it is set to 1 sec
    Can_SetConfigInt(hCan, L"Timeout", 5000, StoreVolatile);    // optional

    // 3. Apply configuration to hardware
    if (!Can_Open(hCan))
    {
        printf("CAN Rx Open failed\r\n");
        return 0;
    }

    // 4. Use CAN   
	canBuf.dataLen = 8;
    returnValue = Can_Read(hCan, &canBuf);

canBuf.dataLen is set to length of 8 bytes. Actually the received message is less than 8 bytes, but canBuf.dataLen is always 8. Although last bytes of canBuf.data are untouched.
Is it possible that canBuf.dataLen reflects real length of received CAN message by Can_Read() ? In CANOpen, can message length varies from 1 bytes to 8.

Thanks for your suggestion. we are analyzing about this option and would release in the next version.
