I have found this PID_MAX:

(./usr/sys/include/sys/limits.h)
Code:
#define PID_MAX              INT_MAX         /* max value for process ID */

and INT_MAX is defined as:
(./arch/alpha/machlimits.h)
Code:
#define       INT_MAX          2147483647     /* max value for an int */

2147483647 --> 10 characters

Thank you very much to all of you for your time

Oops ! The awk option is much better ! thanks again !!

Bug This might also work
ps -ef | grep your_process | grep -v grep | tr -s " " | cut -f2

probably doesn't matter. to reduce redundant use of grep -v grep, you could use awk
Code:
ps -ef | awk '/process/{print $2}'
