Hi,

Only the VISIBLE LENGTH of the field has be shortened, but the length of the field in the databse will remain same and on the screen you can scroll with in the field to input the text of your length. Only thing is on the screen you can see only 12 characters. This should not effect storing your desired length of data.

Try and edit the screen in the SCREEN PAINTER and change its visible length.

go to table field xxx for which it shortned.

find out the data elment assigned for that field.

goto that data element and click on label tab . There change the label from short to medium and give size. then save and activate.

come to that table , save and activate.

then regenerate the table maintenance.
