Definition

The defined length of the key word (text field) or the template (input/ output field) is diplayed.
The length may be taken directly from the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary, or it may be defined in the fullscreen editor. It will always show the currently used length.
For fields from the ABAP/4 Dictionary, the defined length is adjusted when new information is transferred.

The translation of key words uses the text length shown here.

If an icon is assigned to this field, the defined length will also be copied into the internal representation of icon and quick info text. The defined length is a combination of

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

If you want to output an icon in an output field during runtime, please use function module ICON_CREATE, which will create this internal notation.
