Re: Java string length

Thanks Michael but, as usual, I didn't explaine very well. I'm looking for
the max length of the string.

I used a sample program as a base to write excel files using POI and the RPG
host variable for the file name is defined with a length of 63 (very short
since it contains also the path). I don't know if I can safely extend the
length of the RPG variable.

Thanks again

Marco

The only way that I know of is to use the getBytes routine to convert the
java string to a readable RPG string and then use the %Len BIF with the
%Trim BIF.

D getBytes        PR         65535    ExtProc(*JAVA:
D                                             'java.lang.String':

D                                     Varying

RPGfileName = getBytes(fileNamex);

How to dermine the (string) length of this declaration:

 // File Name object
D fileNamex       S               O   Class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
 // trimmed File Name object
D tfileName       S               O   Class(*JAVA:'java.lang.String')
