Diagnosis

You want to change the visualized length of a screen element of type input/output field.
Reducing the visualized length results in a narrower field area in which rolling is possible at runtime in the maximum length of the input/output field.

If the screen element does not have the attribute "with icon", the maximum runtime length is identical to the defined length.
The value you defined, however, is larger than the maximum length of the input/output field at runtime. Rolling is therefore not possible.

If the output field has the attribute "with icon", the defined length must be large enough to be able to hold the internal representation of a field with icon and possibly with a separate quick info at runtime. The visualized length can (and usually is) much smaller because at runtime the screen does not have spearate space for the quick info.
The value you defined for the visualized length, however, is so large compared to the defined length that it cannot be fully used at runtime.

System Response

The system does not use the value for the visualized length.

Procedure

Use a value from the value range suggested in the error message.
