|
|
Hi,
Can you please let me know how to find the entire length of a variable.
For example., Assume X is of 10 digit long, but it contains only 5 digits then the command LENGTH(X) gives 5. But i am interested in knowing the entire length of the variable (i.e., I am interested in the command which will give the value as 10).
Regards,
Sri |

| The function I beleve you are looking for is x = digits(). This will return the number of digits used in calculations. |
