SAP Note 25819 - MD02, MD03: A: Value of the field is too long...

Symptom:

Single-item plaing with "Display results" (MD02,MD03,MD43,...): when starting the single-item planning run - single-level - (MD03) and clicking on the "Display results" the system issues the message:
A: the value of the field is too long. Display not possible (message number 00020)
The same error may occur in the current stock/requirements list (MD04) or in the MRP list (MD05).
This occurs when the resulting list is so long that it takes up more than 99 pages (2.2G-2.2H or MD04/05: 999).

Cause and prerequisites

On several screens of programs SAPMM61X and SAPMM61R, the fields, 'RM61X-PANEW' and 'RM61X-PASUM' have only 3 character spaces (2.2G-2.2H or MD04/05: 4).

Solution
The problem has been solved for 2.2I and 3.0E.
A preliminary correction is possible.

Screens:
SAPMM61X/0210 (single-lines 'compact header'),
SAPMM61X/0220 (single-lines 'detailed header'),
SAPMM61X/0215 (ATP quantities) and
SAPMM61X/0260 (Period display)
as well as:
SAPMM61R/0310
SAPMM61R/0315
SAPMM61R/0320
SAPMM61R/0330
SAPMM61R/0340
must be corrected:


Access transaction SE51 (Screen Painter) for Program = SAPMM61X
Screen number = 0210
and 215,220,260;
and Program = SAPMM61R
Screen number = 0310
and 315,320,330,340
Select partial object 'Fullscreen editor' and access the function "Change":
Both issue fields, 'RM61X-PANEW' and 'RM61X-PASUM' must be extended by 5 issue characters.
Procedure: - Select fields (F2)

- displace (F16), so that there is enough space for new
issue spaces.
- using 'field attributes' expand the output length by
entering two more '_' so that at least 5 '_' or 4 '_' and
a 'V' exist for the +/- sign in the 'field text' or (rel.
3.0) by setting the field length to 5.
Then you must generate the screen.
