Definition

The defined length of the key word (text field) or the template input/output field) is displayed.
The length can be taken straight from the ABAP Dictionary or specified in the fullscreen editor. The system always displays the length currently used.
For fields from the ABAP Dictionary, the defined length is adjusted accordingly when information is transferred.

For keywords, translations to foreign languages are carried out in the text length specified here.

If an icon is assigned to the field, the defined length also includes the internal display of the icon and quick info text. The defined length consists of:
. The internal identification of the icon
. The internal notation of the quick info, if it is different from
the standard text or is not to be shown at runtime
. A separator between the icon identification and the text, if both
icon and text exist
. The actual text of the field
If you want to display an icon on an output field at runtime, use the function module ICON_CREATE. It creates the internal notation.
