Is string_length() still a valid relation function?

I looked for this in the old help and in the help at http://help.ptc.com/creo_hc/creo30_pma_hc/usascii/index.html#page/pma/introduction/about_PTC_creo_help.html Neither place mentions string_length(). But at http://www.mcadcentral.com/creo-drawing/14098-string-functi-ns-proe-relati-ns.html one responder has string_length in a list extracted from some version of Help file.

As in the title - is string_length() still a valid relation function? Looking for WF5, Creo, Creo 2, and Creo 3 validation.

To get to the page with the information on it, I manually navigated down to where I knew it was.

Pick the question mark in the corner:

This takes me to the help center (on PTC's website)

From there drill down to the topic:

Of course the newfangled help isn't smart enough to find it.

Help needs help! Anyone figure out why the new help files are only half the size of the previous versions?
