Prior to Release 10.1B, the AVM and the compiler raise warning message 4132 when an ABL program tries to set a column or width attribute to a value greater than 320. The AVM or the compiler resets the column or width attribute value to 320 and suppresses the associated warning message.

Starting with Release 10.1B:

At compile time, the compiler raises warning message 4132 when an ABL program tries to set a column or width attribute to a value greater than 320. The AVM resets the column or width attribute value to 320 and the compiler generates the associated warning message (for example: Invalid character unit value 200,000. Changed to 320.).

At run time, the AVM raises warning message 13734 ("Invalid character unit value %|<value>. Changed to %|<max>.") when an ABL program tries to set a column or width attribute to a value greater than 131,072. The AVM resets the column or width attribute value to 131,072 and the AVM generates the associated warning message (for example: Invalid character unit value 200,000. Changed to 131,072.).

Note: The AVM stores column and width values in the internal storage format called Progress Portability Units (PPU).
