Hi,

len = STRLEN (field).

use function STRLEN

For eg

data: len1 type i, text (10) type c value '123'.

len1 = strlen( text ).

If your data is of type char then you can calculate length by using ABAP statment STRLEN.

data v_length type i.

data v_matnr type mara-matnr.

v_matnr = 'abcde'.

v_length = STRLEN( V_MATNR ).

write : v_length.

<b>Note</b>: Place ( after STRLEN,Otherwise it gives you syntax error.

Hi,

Here's an example:

DATA: I1 TYPE I, I2 TYPE I, I3 TYPE I,

F1 TYPE F, F2 TYPE F,

WORD1(10), WORD2(20),

XSTR TYPE XSTRING.

...

F1 = ( I1 + EXP( F2 ) ) * I2 / SIN( 3 - I3 ).

COMPUTE F1 = SQRT( SQRT( ( I1 + I2 ) * I3 ) + F2 ).

I1 = STRLEN( WORD1 ) + STRLEN( WORD2 ).

I2 = STRLEN( XSTR ).
