Documentation

Definition

Displays the defined length of the field text or template (input/output field).
You can either take this length directly from the ABAP/4 Dictionary or define it in the fullscreen editor. The length displayed is always the current length.
With ABAP/4 Dictionary fields, the length is adjusted if this is found to have changed.
With field texts, translations into foreign languages are carried out in the text length specified here.

If an icon is assigned to the field, the defined length includes the internal representation of the icon and the quick info text. The defined length comprises:

• the internal identification of the icon
• the internal notation of the quick info, if it differs from the standard text or is not displayed at runtime
• a separator between the icon identification and the field text, if both the icon and the text exist
• the actual field text

If you want to display an icon in the output field at runtime, use the function module ICON_CREATE. This generates the internal notation.
