&: Offset and/or length specification exceeds the field length

Help Document

Diagnosis

You have used a decision operation with offset and/or length value(s). You have exceeded the length of the field addressed with the decision operation.

Example:

As an example, let us use the field 'STADT' with a defined length of 8 characters. The decision operation would be:

DSTADT(10) or DSTADT+7(5)

Both operations are incorrect: In the first case, a length of 10 characters is queried; in the second case, the combination of '+7(5)' exceeds the defined length of 8.

Procedure

Check the length of the field for the decision operation in the Data Dictionary and correct your entry.
