FM FREE_SELECTION_DIALOG length in Popup too short (max. 16 Character)

[former_member806435]

Hello,

I have a problem with the FM’s FREE_SELECTION_INIT and FREE_SELECTION_DIALOG.

When I display the material number (18 digits) in popup (parameter as_window = abap_true), only 16 digits are displayed and the user has to scroll.

But if I display the screen in full screen mode, the full 18 digits are displayed.

If I display only single values (parameter) it also works in popup, but if I switch to ranges (selopt) the problem occurs again.

Can someone explain this to me?

I tried using another data element with 17 digits but there are also only 16 digits shown.
Is the maximum length in the popup limited to 16 digits?

See the screenshots.

Maybe it's due to the font you have defined in SAP GUI, or linked to your SAP GUI version.

What did you use?

Did you check the SAP notes?

Hi Sandra,

thx for your reply.

I have the same Font Setting like in your Screenshot.
The thing that astonishes me here is that it works in the popup with single values but not with ranges, that's why I think it must be due to the blocks

I am just checking the sap notes but at first glance I have not found anything

If you post minimal code, people can test it on their SAP GUI, with different SAP GUI version, different screen resolution, different DPI, different Windows system, etc., and can tell you in case they don't experience the same issue.

Thanks. Sorry, I completely misunderstood your question, you are asking why SAP designed the screen like that or whether it's a bug or if there's a workaround.

No idea why it was done like that. You can't increase the Visible Length. Probably SAP won't consider it's an issue and spend time to fix that.

I also added code so that people can test both modes, window and full screen:
