• Message number: 013

• Message text: Figure &1 is too big, enter a smaller figure

The entered figure '&V1&' is too large. It cannot be held in internal
data fields and it cannot be saved in the database.

System Response

The entry is not accepted.

How to fix this error?

The possible value area of the figure depends on the internal numeric
data type, and with currency fields it also depends on the unit. The
current key figure has the internal type '&V2&' and the internal length
'&V3&'. The system can process key figures if they are one of the
internal types 'X' (in connection with internal length 4, it is
synonymous with internal type 'I'), 'P' or 'F'.
The internal type 'P' can contain decimal numbers in a packed format.
With the internal length 9 and 2, decimals are possible with 15 = 2* 9
- 1- 2 places. From the maximum length 18, 1 has been taken away for
the +/- sign and 2 for the decimals. The current key figure has '&V4&'
decimals. Note, that these decimals must not be the decimals from the
settings in the layout.
The internal type 'I' (or 'X' with internal length 4 ) can include
whole figures in the area -2147483647 to 2147483647.
The internal type 'F' can contain floating points in the area
2.2250738585072014E-308 to 1.7976931348623157E+308 (positive and
negative).
Enter figures that are in one of the areas mentioned above. Also note
a possible scaling of the key figure which was defined in the planning
layout. An overflow can also occur when the figure entered from the
display is still in the allowed area. However, since the values are
stored unscaled in the database, the value from the display must still
be unscaled, this is where the value area can be exceeded.
