Diagnosis
Screen element has defined length 0.
Value 0 for the defined length usually signalizes an error situation.
This value 0 can also arise if is a screen element with a Dictionary reference where the attribute "Dict. modifiied" is not set, and the output length of the referenced Dictionary element is larger than the maximum allowed defined length of 255. In this case, when the screen is read, the system uses the value 0 instead of the value that is too large and cannot be displayed.
The length values are of core importance for both display and edit options in both layout editors.
The Graphic Layout Editor cannot handle screen elements with defined length 0 and therefore deletes them. For this reason, the system has to fully reject any attempt to call up the Graphic Layout Editor and branches instead to the Alphanumeric Layout Editor.
In the Alphanumeric Layout Editor, screen elements with defined length 0 cannot be selected and can only be recognized through their shading.
Operations on screen elements with defined length 0 should not, therefore, be executed in the Layout Editor but in the element list. In the element list, you can enter an appropriate length. Also, the attributes "Dict. modified" and "Scrollable" can be set. In addition, deletion of the screen element is possible.
