Message number: 368
Message text: Field &1, data element &2 with length problem
Data element '&v2&' is assigned to field '&v1&'. External length '&v4&'
was assigned to this field when the segment was saved. This either
occurred automatically by calculation of the export length of the data
element or by explicit assignment of a greater export length within
segment maintenance.
However, field '&v1&' is defined smaller in the repository structure,
namely with '&v3&' character places.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Using the change times, check whether there are any inconsistent
changes and change the segment in accordance with your requirements in
the segment editor and save again.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
