10.6.20 CurChars
CurChars returns the number of characters in a string.
In a single byte environment, CurChars and Cursize will return the same result.
In a DBCS environment each character requires two bytes, so although a string may be 8 bytes long, the number of characters will be 4 in ASCII and 3 in ECBDIC. Two bytes will be used by the shift in and shift out bytes.
Input Parameters
