Hi,
David Fanning's site http://www.dfanning.com/tips/struct_length.html
says :-
QUESTION: How can I determine the size or length of an IDL structure
variable in bytes?
ANSWER: This functionality, oddly enough, is provided by the N_Tags
function and the Length keyword.
structSize = N_Tags(myStructure, /Length)
The length or size of a structure is machine dependent and depends
upon the host machine. IDL pads and aligns structures in a manner
consistent with the host machine's C compiler.
