How to find the number of characters filled in a variable????????

[Former Member]

Hi,

Suppose i declared a variable

test(20) type c.

test = '123'.

Now if you see out of 20 characters number of charecters filled in is 3. Or is there any way to find out string length???

data : w_len type i.

w_len = strlen( w_field ).

to have the lenght of the content of w_field.

Use STrlen statement to get the length

Or fm SWA_STRINGLENGTH_GET

Import parameters Value

USE STRLEN COMMAND.

DATA : TEST(20).

DATA : V TYPE I.

TEST = '123'.

V = STRLEN( TEST ).

WRITE 😕 V.

Hi,

DATA:CHAR(20) TYPE C.

CHAR = '123'.

DATA:LEN TYPE I.

LEN = STRLEN( CHAR ).

WRITE:LEN.

Output will be 3.

Use: STRLEN(variable). to get the number of characters currently contained in the variable.
