LRAW - line length

[Former Member]

hi,

I have following problem. I have a table with fields:

...
LINE_LEN	type INDX_CLSTR (INT2)
LINE		type LRAW		length 1024

Now in this table a document (jpg) is saved. The length of the LINE is saved in LINE_LEN for each LINE.

Now the last line of the jpg in the table has a length of 288. How can I get the length,

because if I read the line I get always a length of 1024 (describe field...). I think the reason for this is, that

the line is saved with trailing '00000000000000000000000000000000000'.

How can I get the correct length?

Thanks

Did you try to use condense statement for the line?

Alternatively try to use a char type variable to hold the line contents and use condense statement before finding its length.

One more way is to use

SHIFT c RIGHT DELETING TRAILING c1. where c1 = 0.

Hello Markus

Before taking the lenght of the field,

use the FM "CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT"

this will remove the zero's from your field and then you can get the length of the field.

Hope this solves your problem.
