Any way in the CL program to find the length of the character data stored in a variable?

[Siva <matchrefree@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any way in the CL program to find the length of the character data 
stored in a variable?
 
I find there is no direct CL command to acheive this... may be some roundabout 
way there to do this... but nothing striking at this moment....
 
 i think of some prgm calls with the required variable as the parm  and the 
receiviong prgm process the variable etc... but couldnt get any logic here 
:-)......
 
 
Thanks
Siva.
