You don't really. You have a message tree that was created from your incoming message.
If you want to get the length of the incoming message then the best option is to use ASBITSTREAM. If you call ASBITSTREAM before any changes are made to the message tree then it will simply return the bytes of the input document. If you need to count characters ( which is not always the same as counting bytes ) then you can CAST to CHARACTER and measure the length of the resulting string.
