Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me how to validate the lenght of an input varible?
My requirement here is to,accept a variable and if it's length is 8 or 10 , the remaining process is to be done.
But iam strugling to find out a built in for the length calculation.
So please provide the information as early as possible.
Many thanks in advance.

I assume you are talking about NATURAL.
There is no built in function for length in NATURAL, but you can use the following method:
Code: |
DEFINE DATA LOCAL
1 #A (A10)
1 #B (N2)
END-DEFINE
*
#A := 'OFEROFEROF'
*
EXAMINE #A FOR ' ' GIVING LENGTH IN #B
*
WRITE #B
*
END |
