Howevwr, if there is any possiblility that the string contains leading
blanks, and you need to preserve them, use %len(%trimr(string)) instead.
Especially true if you are passing a string to QCMDEXC and have to pass the
length also.

Hi All,

How to count length of a given string, is there any function or
opcode for doing this.

Example : string = 'COMPUTER'
Total string length is 8

Thanks in Advance
