Is there a lightweight method to limit a text box entry length on the client in apps 10 (similar to adding a max length attribute to an html tag)?

 

I would like to to this without creating a validation event. We have an external system that requires a smaller field size than what IFS allows.

Hi @mdeanton ,

 

You can use the oracle LENGTH() function for the condition in a event like below:

BEGIN

  IF (<some_condition>) THEN

      IFSAPP.ERROR_SYS.Record_General('<LogicalUnit>','The value you have entered in the custom field does not exist in the LOV. Please enter a correct value and save.');

   END IF;

END;

Thanks but I asking if there was a way to accomplish this without having to use a plsql event.

Hi @mdeanton,

If your company is using APP10 Aurena client, then you can change the Maxlength of any field via the page designer.
 

 

Sorry the questions was for Apps 10, not using aurena.

Although the question was for IFS10, I still want to make the remark of a nice Aurena feature: showing the number of available positions:

So 8 positions out of the possible 10 used. I have no idea on what type of field this works or any key field?
