Changing Display Length of Output-Only Entries

From the Edit Screen Entry Details you can override the display length of any output-only entry by entering a value in the Override length field. An entry is considered output-only if its I/O Usage is O.

Note: You can also use this method to override the model-wide length of the input capable *SFLSEL (subfile selector) entry for a function.

Override length field guidelines:

• The value you enter must be shorter than or equal to the actual length of the entry. The current display length is shown in the Display length field.
• If you enter 0 or leave the Override length field blank, the display length defaults to the value shown in the Display length field. For *SFLSEL, if the Override length field is 0 or blank, the display length defaults to the model-wide length.
• If data for the entry is longer than the display length, the data is truncated.
• If you change the I/O usage for the entry to I (input), you cannot change the entry’s display length.
