Re: Count String

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.

if you want the length of the field

if you want the length of the data IN the field

Hi All,

opcode for doing this.
