The length must be at least 1 (1 to 80 approx. width of letters in normal view). In
the case of edit boxes (input fields), output fields (inactive input fields) and combo
boxes (combination fields), the length is the length of the input field or combination
field without the field name. The length is of no importance for the other field types.
(Exception: Length = 0  the field will not be displayed)

Note
Fields that exceed the screen border are truncated.
When you define new fields, it is useful to note the positions of the other fields.
The layout of the screen can then be structured symmetrically.
