MAXSTRLEN Function (Code, Text)

Type: Integer

The maximum length of the string variable.

If you call this function on a Variant, it returns an error.

This example shows how to use the MAXSTRLEN function. Assume that City has been defined as a text variable with a maximum length of 30.

This example requires that you create the following variables and text constants in the C/AL Globals window.

City := Text000;
MaxLength := MAXSTRLEN(City);
Length := STRLEN(City);
MESSAGE(Text001 + Text002, MaxLength, Length);

The message window displays the following:

The MAXSTRLEN function returns 30,

while the STRLEN function returns 7.
