Message Text

Element is shorter than defined in ABAP Dictionary

Help Document

Diagnosis

The string in the ABAP Dictionary is too long for the space available.

System Response

The string is copied into the field and shortened to the available length. The element also assumes the Dictionary reference "Modified, fixed". This means that the field is displayed at runtime with the text as it appears in the Screen Painter.

Procedure

Move the element or adjoining element to make room for the whole of the string.

Note: If the element is an input/output field, you may set the "Scrollable" attribute for it. The text from the ABAP Dictionary is then copied into the field in its full length. The defined length of the element changes, but not the visual length.
