Editor MAX-CHARS allows more characters to be displayed
The EDITOR SCREEN-VALUE attribute can be setup regardless MAX-CHAR value

DEF VAR s AS CHAR VIEW-AS EDITOR SIZE 40 BY 10 MAX-CHARS 20.
DEF FRAME f
s
WITH SIZE 50 BY 12.
ON 'F1' anywhere
DO:
ASSIGN s:SCREEN-VALUE IN FRAME f = "jklgjdfklgjsdfklgdjfgkgkdflgjdfklgdskljfgsklsfgjQ".
MESSAGE s:LARGE IN FRAME f
length(s:SCREEN-VALUE IN FRAME f) VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
RETURN.
END.
ENABLE ALL WITH FRAME f.

Use MAX-CHARS value to truncate the string before SCREEN-VALUE is used.
