FTVAL.length

Returns the length of the value associated with this FTVAL object.

Syntax

public final long 
length()

Returns

The length of the value associated with this FTVAL object.

Description

If the value held by this FTVAL object is a blob, length returns the number of bytes in the blob. For example, if the blob is a 60,000 byte JPEG file, then length returns 60,000.

If the value held by this FTVAL object is not a blob, length internally transforms the value to a String and then returns the number of characters in the String. For example, suppose the FTVAL object holds the LONG value 713. Since "713" consumes three character positions, length returns 3.
