W8133 - Details

  • SAP Error Message:
    W8133 Element & has been defined as single-line but can now become multiline
    
    
    Cause: This warning message occurs in SAPscript or Smart Forms when an element (such as a text element or a window element) was originally defined or expected to contain only a single line of text, but during processing, the content assigned to it has become multiline (i.e., contains line breaks or multiple lines). In other words, the element was designed or declared as a single-line element, but the actual data or text being passed to it includes multiple lines, which can cause formatting or layout issues. Explanation: Single-line element: An element that is expected to hold only one line of text. Multiline content: Text that contains line breaks or multiple lines. When SAP detects that a single-line element is receiving multiline content, it raises this warning to alert the developer or user that the output might not appear as intended.
    Solution: Check the element
