I am working with a field STATEMENTDISPLAYFORROLLUP, defined as A51V.

When I run this code:
COMPUTE TLEN/I3 = ARGLEN(A51V, STATEMENTDISPLAYFORROLLUP, 'I3');
I get this error:

ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 15 IN PROCEDURE ADHOCRQ FOCEXEC *
(FOC258) FIELDNAME OR COMPUTATIONAL ELEMENT NOT RECOGNIZED: A51V

(FOC009) Request failed validation, not executed.

I thought it was permitted to run ARGLEN against variable length alpha field.

???

Thank you

The first parm in ARGLEN is expected to be a number (length) not a format.

I would probably use the LENV function to find the length of a AnV field.

David,

Here is my finished product.

   
TABLE FILE PARTNERSTATEMENTXREF
PRINT STATEMENTDISPLAYFORROLLUP
COMPUTE TLEN/I3 = ARGLEN(51, STATEMENTDISPLAYFORROLLUP, 'I3');
-*WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 5
ON TABLE HOLD AS TOMMY
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE TOMMY
PRINT STATEMENTDISPLAYFORROLLUP
BY HIGHEST 3 TLEN
END 
-RUN

With these procedures I can create a larger sized field to carry that data forward.

Thank you.
