Without intermediate field:

%Len(%Trimr(Field30)))

With an intermediate field, Alan's is probably the best. And even
overall, I like Alan's because it only trims the field once. That's
worth the tradeoff of an intermediate field. Note that either method
will require you to check for a blank string; if Field30 is all blanks
either of these will give you an RNX0100 string position error.
