Is that field with length 200 a key field in Z table and are there any other key fields?

That is the warning part of it which tells you that your screen cannot accommodate the field due to its length. You should be able to enter upto 132, that is the screen table control limitation.

Hi Vijay,

This not a key field. i have four other key fields

Hi Challa,

Have you checked the data element/domain assigned to the field is has Output lenght 200CH and it is active.

You can enter 200CH in table maintenance . But the visible length (in SM30 Transaction)will be 132CH as Srini mentioned. But it can be filled up to 200CH.

You can only enter values for such fields through the program, not through the table maintenance screens. You can at the most extend it to 132 characters if it is a non-key field.

For key fields, the limitation is at 120 characters for all the key fields put together.

Even to enter the 132 characters, you will have to modify the screen. Go to table maintenance generator screen(either SE11 or SE54>generated objects>change), double click on the screen. It will take you to the screen painter. Select the field in the table control, go to its attributes and change the defined length and the visible length to 132. Anything more than that, system will not allow. Activate the screen and you should be able to enter more than 40.

Remember, everytime you change the table maintenance objects, you have to do this.

Hi Challa,

No. If you want to enter 40 CH then you can enter directly by using SM30 transaction.

Whant is the real issue you are facing to enter 40CH.

Hi All,

Thank you very much.

It is working for 132 Char only.
