Hello,

It depends upon the definition of the field,

If u r declaring the field like this

data: char(255).

Then the field CHAR can accomadate 255 characters max.

Hi..

Using Describe Field statement we can get the Length of the field.

Eg:

DATA: FLD(8),

LEN TYPE I.

DESCRIBE FIELD FLD LENGTH LEN IN CHARACTER MODE.

write:/ Len.
