Column length

Hi all,

To set the length of a datafield programmatically you have the function
SalSetMaxDataLength, is there an equivalent function for columns in a table
?

TIA.

From online help:

bOk = SalSetMaxDataLength ( hWndField, nLength )

Sets a limit on the number of characters that a user can enter into a data
field, multiline text field, or table window column.

Then I'm looking at a 'feature', I can select a value far bigger than the
maximum length of the field.

Mybe the problem you are having is entering a number into column and cannot
insert more characteres. Make the column wider and see if you can enter.
