SAP script command for finding string length

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Can anyone please let me know what is the equivalent command to strlen() in sap script editor. I need to find the string length of a symbol in sap script editor itself without writing the logic in print program or by calling any includes in the sap script editor.

Regards,

Deepthi

You can use the character ' * ' to specify the length of a program variable whose string lenght is to be taken. The value of the symbol is then printed using the output length defined in the ABAP Dictionary.

eg, &var(*)&

(This will write the total lenght specified in the output lenght in Dictionary.Otherwise there is no syntax as strlen() in Script )

Hi Deepthi,

As an alternative, you can use the perform statement in SAPscript so that it will execute a subroutine you implemented in another report.In the subroutine, you can do everything you want.

Have a look at this link to find out how exactly.
