Yes.  This code below is the attempt to determine the longest item length...

setInfoSize()
{
   INFOSIZE=0
   for ITEM in DICTSENDER DICTPAGES DICTQUALITY DICTSIZE DICTRECEIVED \
       DICTTIMETORECV DICTSIGNALRATE DICTDATAFORMAT DICTERRCORRECT \
       DICTCALLID1 DICTCALLID2 DICTCALLID3 DICTCALLID4 DICTCALLID \
       DICTCALLID6 DICTCALLID7 DICTRECEIVEDON DICTCOMMID; do
   printf "%s%n" "`eval echo "$"$ITEM`" THISLEN > /dev/null
   if [ $THISLEN -gt $INFOSIZE ]; then INFOSIZE=$THISLEN; fi
   done
}

It appears that "%n" is not portable.

Is anyone immediately aware of a portable way to determine the 
character-length of a set shell variable?

Thanks,

Lee.
