Len Intrinsic
.............

     Len(STRING)

Len: `INTEGER(KIND=1)' function.

STRING: `CHARACTER'; scalar.

Intrinsic groups: (standard FORTRAN 77).

Description:

   Returns the length of STRING.

   If STRING is an array, the length of an element of STRING is
returned.

   Note that STRING need not be defined when this intrinsic is invoked,
since only the length, not the content, of STRING is needed.

   Note: Bit_Size Intrinsic, for the function that determines the
size of its argument in bits.
