if i want a name to have a maximum of 22 characters (letters) not including spaces in between and not counting the comma and period how do I encode in it the condition box?
in the update/calculate field i was able to do this: surname (a-z)(,)(space) first name (a-z) (space) middle initial (a-z)(.) total: name but I want to put a condition that states that the total number of characters should be less than or equal to 22 then ok but if total characters is greater than 22 then error

Unfortunately, we do not have an option to count specific characters on forms.
This is not likely that you can count the characters with conditional logic on form.

As a side issue,
if you were to add such a feature, this would allow a very wide scope of issues to be resolved. Many widgets output a text string but the ability to perform calculations on these strings is very limited. Being able to count the number of times a character, separator or string appears in such an output could solve these and several other issues. -
