Help Document

Diagnosis

The selected authorization field references a data element with an output length greater than 40 characters.

Note that authorization values are truncated at 40 characters in authorization maintenance (transaction PFCG or SU03).

System Response

Procedure

If you application requires check values longer than 40 characters for authorization checks (such as the data elements used here), you need to define an alias relationship to then check for the shorter alias name.
Replace the data element used with the name of the alias.

If your application can differentiate sufficiently for the authorization check with authorization values of 40 characters or less, you can retain the authorization field/data element relationship.
Note the field restriction in the documentation for the associated authorization objects.
