Hi,

Try out this

If not strlen( p_num ) EQ 10.

Message 'Please enter 10 digit number' type 'E'.

Endif.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

You can use one of the following function to determine the length of the characters.

strlen

numofchar-Same as for the function strlen, except that in this case when a non-Unicode double-byte code is used, a character that occupies 2 bytes is only counted once.

You can also use Get Cursor..Length Len where Len is of type i.

Find the length of the filed and if its less than 10 trrow the error message also validate the filed only contains numerics.

Suprith,

data:char(40) type c.

data:v type I.

char = 'SUPRITH'.

v = strlen( char ).

write:/ 'String length is', v.

IF V > 10

give your message here.

endif.
