How To Fix IO417 - The output length specified is not sufficient for the presentation

IO417 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IO - Plant Maintenance: Object List

• Message number: 417

• Message text: The output length specified is not sufficient for the presentation

What causes this issue?

The output length entered is not sufficient in the print editing of
serial numbers.
The print editing of serial numbers is used, for example, in the print
programs for printing delivery and sales documents. Check the call of
the print editing of serial numbers in your program. The line length is
not sufficient for print editing. This can lead, for example, to
large strings which are output together when summarizing
directly consecutive serial numbers in serial number intervals. This in
turn can result in strings which are twice the length of serial numbers
plus the length of the interval separator symbol. If a method for line
margins is set at the same time, then the length of the line delimiter
must be subtracted from the set line length.

System Response

The system does not allow further processing.

How to fix this error?

In the print editing call, increase the line length or select a
different representation type for editing.
