<p><strong>Note:</strong> This function can only be used in an i5/OS PASE
program. See <a href="../rzalf/rzalfintro.htm">i5/OS PASE</a> for more
information about creating i5/OS PASE programs.</p>
<p>The <strong>_STRLEN_SPP()</strong> determines the length of a
null-terminated character string. It performs the same operation as the
<strong>strlen</strong> function, but uses a 16-byte tagged space pointer to
locate the string.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>string</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Pointer to character string. string is the 16-byte aligned address
of a tagged space pointer to the character string.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p><strong>_STRLEN_SPP</strong> requires no authority.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p><strong>_STRLEN_SPP</strong> returns length of the character string.</p>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>Any error is reported with an i5/OS exception message that the system
converts to an i5/OS PASE signal. See <a href="pase_signals.htm">i5/OS PASE
Signal Handling</a> for information about handling i5/OS exceptions.</p>
<br>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>_STRLEN_SPP can reference any memory addressable through a tagged space
pointer, which need not be in the i5/OS PASE address space.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>_STRLEN_SPP is implemented with a kernel system call, so it generally runs
slower than strlen.</li>
</ol>
