Hi,

go to screen Layout and double click on the filed which you wan to know the Input/Ouput lenght..

Check the Column -

begin--and Visible lenght..

the visible lenght is nothing but the screen Input/Ouput lenght in the screen.

If you go to the corresponding screen in SE51 or in SE80 you can see three tabs (Attributes, Element List & Flow Logic).

If you see 'Elements list' then you can all the list of elements which have been used in that screen with all the properties like Defined Length & Visible length & more information.

Thanks

Thanks to all experts..

but I want to get the field length at the run time.

when user will run the transaction for that perticular program...then he will enter something in that field.

exmpl - if user enter 'MAT1' in that field...

i want that field length as '4', i think this length is other than defined length.

plz help me..

Use function STRLEN

eg : i = strlen(lv_abc)
