java 子串_Java子串：字符串索引超出范围

我猜“我收到这个错误,因为这个字符串正在尝试一个空值的子串,但是”.length()> 0“部分消除了这个问题？

以下是Java代码段：

if (itemdescription.length() > 0) {

pstmt2.setString(3, itemdescription.substring(0,38));

} else {

pstmt2.setString(3, "_");

}

我收到这个错误：

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 38
