KB0042 – Incorrect display on some SAP versions

Issue : You notice that the display of Promenta web screens is incorrect as shown below. There are blank sections.

Applies to :

Selected SAP versions as listed below . This is not an exhaustive list :

• Basis 702
• Basis 730
• Basis 740-0002

Cause : The display does actually contain fields and data. However due to an error with the SAP control for TEXEDIT the width becomes very big (60,000+ characters) and so the fields are way off to the right.

FIX :

Create an override (or add to existing one) for tree /PROMENTA/TM999

Add node as below :

SUBPARAM = TEXTEDIT_MAX_COLS   

Set PARAMVAL = 99

Example below:
