Diagnosis
When the screen was being read from the database, the system found that one or several screen elements do not fit into the maximum screen area of 200 lines and 255 columns.
Typically, this kind of constellation can occur when the screen field has a reference to the Dictionary, but the respective Dictionary object has meanwhile received a larger output length.
System Response
The system resets the determined values for the screen attributes "Number of Occupied Lines/Columns" down from the maximum values 200 and 255 in order not to have to interrupt work in the Screen Painter.
This check is repeated in the Screen Painter each time the edit screen changes. The message will possibly be sent several times.
Procedure
Check immediately which screen fields go beyond the maximum allowed screen area. Since the Layout Editor cannot fully display these screen elements or even display them at all, switch to the element list. You can also switch the the editing screen "Properties" and, if necessary, increase the attributes "Maintain Lines/Columns" to increase the current screen area.
If a screen field goes beyond the lower screen limit or even only begins at a line with a line number > 200, then delete the screen field.
If a screen field goes beyond the right screen limit, you generally do not need to delete it, but you can set the attribute "Scrollable" and then reduce the displayed length.
Remember that working in the Layout Editor can be dangerous as long as this error situation persists. Loss of data and systerm termination cannot be fully avoided.
