Message text: Element is too long (visible field length will be shortened)



What causes this issue?

You have increased the visualized (visible) length of an input/output
field which has the attribute "scrollable".
This is not allowed either because, to the right of the element, there
is another element (e.g. field text, input/output field, graphical
element, subscreen) which would be truncated or moved, or because the
right edge of the screen has been reached.


System Response

Length increased only to maximum allowed.
