Hi Everyone,

In my screens using screen painter, I have certain text fields, for which I want to the text lenth to be 40 char long and the the visible length to be 12 c long.

But in screen painter I am not able to increase the text length, when i execute the program i can only enter the texts up to 12 which is visible length. How do I achieve this.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Prabs.

For doing so define that as a type <b>STRING</b> It will take all what u type.

U can get what u need, hope this solves ur problem.
