How To Fix 37587 - & & switched to standard 21x83 (not saved yet)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 37 - Screen Painter

• Message number: 587

• Message text: & & switched to standard 21x83 (not saved yet)

What causes this issue?

In Release 2.1, the standard dimensions of a window (and hence of a
screen) were extended from 20 lines by 80 columns to 21 lines by 84
columns. Older screens are converted automatically by the Screen
Painter when it recognizes that the screen has not yet been saved under
the new dimensions. The conversion shifts all existing screen elements
one column to the right. This means that there is at least one free
column on the left. This can be used, for example, to convert a group
header into a group box. The free column on the left is then occupied
by the left-hand edge of the box, and you do not have to adjust the
position of the header. When you next save the screen, the converted
form is written to the database and the screen is flagged as converted.
