Structures, Urgent!!!

[Guest_imported]

How can I know the size of a structure???
exists someone function? Other languages it's so easy to do, but in Power Builder I didn't find any function to do it.

Thanks.

Dear Vinicius -

Unfortunately it's PowerBuilder, not C and you cannot use sizeof(...). There is no function to determine the lenght of the structure. I guess if you really need to know the size of it in chars, you'll need to create a variable of type String, convert every element into this and that use len()...

something like this:
assume that you structure str_emp_data str_emp has two fields - String name and long age,
than do something like this -
String ls_buffer
ls_buffer = str_emp.name
ls_buffer = ls_buffer + String(str_emp.age)
than your lenght will be len(ls_buffer)
