strlen funuction

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

i have written peace code in that i have used sstrlen( ) but it is giving output as '*'.

it is terminated the program .

actually I have used the  strlen( ) in  internal tables two times first was giving correct length but not for second.

data : k ,l type ty_cust.

loop at itab assigning <kittu>.

k =  strlen( <kittu>-cust_name ).  "it is working fine

l = strlen( <kittu>-cust_addr ).  "this is giving output as '*'.

endloop.

what would be the problem ?

how can I resolve this .

Hi Balakrishnan,

In you code above data : k ,l type ty_cust.

you have declared l type ty_cust.

Can you make this as char or int.

Hi Balakrishna,

The Strlen function takes value of char type only.

Kindly ensure that your cust_addr is of type char only.

length = STRLEN( variable ).” provides lenght of character variable

You should declare the size of  char  variable   l.

For example : Data: l(3)  type  c.

I and K variables in your case should be of type I(integer type).
