UPDDTA issue

[tamil]

Hi I get the following error message while issuing the UPDDTA command for a file "Some key fields could not fit on a data entry display."
The file has maximum field length of 15char only and it has 3 key fields. Any clue on the error and its recovery?

Hi Tamil:
Part of the Help text for error message DFU0243:

Either a field is too large to fit on any display or there was no room left for the first field following the
key fields or the record number field.

It sounds like you have one big wopper of a field on that screen

Best of Luck
