Domain

While creating domain why isn't it possible to give output length of the data type greater/less than the calculated length?

Hi,

Domain defines the the output length (maximum field length) from the definitions for the data type.

It does not give any option to limit the length of values entered by user.

If field values have to be converted during input or output, you can define a conversion routine.

Hi

You can only to put a certain output length, but you can also create an exit routine to convert it.

While giving domain length, you guve the maximum size you want to have. Incase you want to change then you have to use a conversion routine.
