length of field

Hi Sen,

Use STRLEN.

strlen will give string length.

Returns the length of a character-type field in characters. With c-fields, as opposed to fields with type STRING, only the actual length used is relevant because blanks at the end are not counted.

DATA: STRING(25) VALUE ' one two three four',

LEN TYPE I.

LEN = STRLEN( STRING ).

WRITE: STRING, '!'.

WRITE: / 'Length: ', LEN.

Thanks,.

use STRLEN Command.

v_len = STERLEN (v_char).

Regards,

Amit
