Dear All,

I am into a SAP standard table, the field length as shown for the field is Character(4).

But when i am into the SM30 transaction and try to create a new entry, it allows only 3 characters to be entered.

Please if you could share, what could be reason for it as it doesn't allows to enter the 4 characters for that field.

Thanks,

Puneet

Go to your SE11, Change Mode your Table, Utilities, Table Maintenance Generator, Environment, Modification, Maintenance Screens.

Go to Element List Tab, and check DefLg and VisLg columns and check if they are 4 for your requirement. Most probably they are 3.
