Error description

  • In this PMR the customer had a text form in which there is field
    
    declared as num(9) with fieldLen=6. According to our doc this is
     not
    permitted. The form was shown with incorrect alignments. When th
    e
    customer realized this, he wanted  to close the PMR as user erro
    r.
    
    
    However he would like to see a validation error or warning in th
    is case.
    
    The field is defined as:
     x num(9){position =[4, 5
                   ], fieldLen = 6, color = defaultColor, highlight
    = noHighlight, intensity = normalIntensity, protect = noProtect,
     sign = none, align = right, fillCharacter = nullFill};
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • Previously there was no warning that the contents of the
    field may not fit into the specified fieldLen.
    

Problem conclusion

  • I have added a warning message that will help customers to
    recognize this situation.
    

Temporary fix
