• Message number: 124

• Message text: Dynpro element &1: Text length in dictionary > defined length in dynpro

What causes this issue?

The "From Dictionary" attribute is set for a screen element of the text
field type, and the "Dict. modified" attribute is used to:
Request a specific field label (value 1,2,3 or 4) whose length exceeds
the defined length of the screen element
Request the longest suitable field label (value V), but no field label
exists whose length does not exceed the defined length of the screen
element.

System Response

If the screen is processed in the original language, a wrong or
truncated text may be displayed.
If the screen is processed in a language other than the original
language, either a text in the original language or no text at all is
displayed.

How to fix this error?

Verify if the value of the attribute "Dict. modified" is correct.
Verify if field labels have been modified or deleted in the Dictionary.
Note, in particular, that the length of a field label is uniquely
determined by its length attribute and n o t by the significant text
parts in the original language.
