AppEnhancer -  Modifying the Length of a User-defined List

If you need to add longer values to a user-defined list, you may not need to manually change the list length first. 

In this case, adding the new longer entries through the GUI caused the length to adjust automatically.

Symptoms

  • You want to add new items to a user-defined list.
  • The new values are longer than the current entries.
  • You are unsure whether the list length must be modified before adding the longer values.

 

Resolution

  1. Open the AE Administrator
  2. Add the new user-defined list values that have the longer string length.
  3. Verify whether the field length automatically adjusts to accommodate the longest item.
  4. If needed, review the matching UL# table for the application.
  5. Also review the related DT column width table for the corresponding UDL entry if further adjustment is required.
  6. Perform testing in a test application first so you can confirm the behaviour safely before making production changes.
