Cannot edit more than 25 characters in Table View mode within VIEWTABLE


If you attempt to edit a data set in Table view mode within the VIEWTABLE window, you may not be able to edit more than 25 characters ofthose columns whose lengths exceed 25. If you attempt to enter more than 25 characters, you will hear a beeping sound. No message will be generated.

To circumvent this problem, you will need to display your data set in Form view mode within the VIEWTABLE window using the following command:

     viewtable mylib.mydata view=form

This command bypasses table view mode of the VIEWTABLE window. See usage note V6-AF-D093 for a related problem with editing data in the VIEWTABLE window.
