Definition

Field position in a screen variant line.

The offset specifies the field position from the left margin of a line.

Use

You can either copy the SAP standard offset or set your own values.

Example:

Column: 1                    2                3            4        5...

Selection indicator    Input line    Cost element    Amount    Consumption..

Offset: 3                    5                9            20        37

Column 1 starts at position 3, column 2 at position 5, column 3 at position 9 and so on, starting from the left margin of each line.

Note the following:

  • The maximum line width is 82 characters. If the last column of your screen variant starts at 69 and the field length for this column is 11, you can only insert a field with a maximum length of 2, so that the maximum line width is not exceeded (69 + 11 + 2 = 82). In this case the system will reject any field with a length greater than 2, and issue an error message.
  • If you change the standard offset, no overlaps may occur between the individual columns. Overlaps exist if, for example, you change the offset in column 2 from 5 to 7. The field in column 2 then does not have enough space.

    Example:

    Column:        1    2    3

    Offset:        3    7    9

    Field length:    4    4   

    The field length in column 2 is 4, but the field can hold only 2 characters after the offset is changed.
