Error description
Environment: Windows Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer Program Version : 7.5.1.5 Description There is an error with the representation within the TUI editor referring to a Constant field with a FieldLen = 79 which in turn has a 'value' that is much longer then the prospective 79 bytes ie: In design mode everything appears to be fine but it the design m ode looks only for the first 79 bytes from the source value taki ng this from the defined field length. This condition occurs after migration from VAgen where there was a larger constant field with such as dots and PF keys within it and the programmer has probably had to change the PF the key li ne, so this large field was broken in two. Therefore where the value content is larger than the field lengt h the design editor cuts the same value content according to fie ld length to present it onto screen. This can be confusing for developers and it is considered defect ive that a warning is not output when the value content has exce eded it's declared length as per this scenario.
Local fix

Problem conclusion
Validation was added and now a warning message is issued if the number of bytes of the value exceeds the fieldlen specified
Temporary fix
