Hi Guys,

Thanks for quick replies. I dont need this programatically. Am entering the long text using the standard transaction. While am checking that data element its length is 20. So it is taking only 20 characters. I need to make this data element into 40 characters. How can I change the standard data element?

Please give me reply
