Hi Everyone,

Please help me on this , I am validating a field for special character
when -,*,+ is encountered the length function which I am using is
failling.

&tr = uuu*
&j = &length(&tr)

I tried using &sysclength it is also failing. Please let me know how do I
handle *,-,+ .

Please help.

Thanks
Raj

Try using it as a string:

&j = &length(&str(&tr))

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply.
&t = abc*
&j = &length(&nrstr(&t))
This code worked .

but it is failling for &

&t = abc&
&j= &length(&nrstr(&t))

it failing saying symbolic valiable used in length function since & is part
of the string .
