Re: Any way in the CL program to find the length of the character data stored in a variable?

Siva,

you can search the archives for RTVSTRLEN. it will give you the code for a 
simple command and a CPP of 5 lines.

QCLSCAN is limited to strings of maximum 999 characters (IIRC). I do not know, 
if a character variable length has been extended in V5R3, but as far as I know 
it is 9999 characters max.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
