How do I determine the length (or number of characters) of a field?

I want to use something like:

{ IF { = LENGTH( { long_description } ) } 40
{ short_description } { long_description } }

except that there doesn't seem to be a LENGTH function.

Or I want to be able to use { NUMCHARS } for a small part of text, not the
complete document.

Is there a function? Or a workaround?

Thanks
