SAP Message 37140 - Size of area or control is unpermitted

Diagnosis
The basic form of an area or a control is a rectangle, whose size ismeasured in lines (height) and columns (width).
You can change the size of an area or control

  • on the attribute screen, by changing the length and height values

  • in the layout editor by setting the bottom right hand corner of the
  • area to the cursor position.
    One of the following has occurred:
    • The rectangle is smaller than the minimum size required for the
    • control.
      • Screen elements within the control no longer fit into the rectangle.
      • For example, this can happen with subscreens in a tab control.

        Procedure
        Enlarge the rectangle or move the bottom right hand corner so that noneof the elements within the control is truncated.
        There must be at least one blank space between the area and anyelements outside to the left or right.
