22 CHARACTER STRING FUNCTIONS
22.1 Character String Length Detection
LEN(_E)
These functions detect the length of an input character string and output the result.
â– Descriptions, types, and data types
â– Operation processing
• These functions detect the length of a character string input to (s) and output the result from (d).
• A value input to (s) is the STRING type data value and within the range from 0 to 255 byte(s).
â– Operation result
1. Function without EN/ENO
The operation processing is executed. The operation output value is output from (d).
2. Function with EN/ENO
The following table lists the execution conditions and operation results.
*1 When FALSE is output from ENO, data output from (d) is undefined. In that case, modify a program so that the data output from (d) is
not used.
There is no operation error.
