This is strange, you shouldn't even be able to activate the dataelement type char with a length of 0. Revisit your data element and make sure that the length shows to be greater than 0 and reactivate your data element to make sure the newest version is active. In case you are referencing a domain in your data element do the same with the domain after validating that everything is correct (you can also use the check function). Then go back to your table and reenter the data element before activating your table.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Hi,
Check:
1) The corresponding domain associated with the data element has output length > 0
( Under Defintion tab->Output characteristics category)
2) Length > 0 , if you are using a Built in Data type instead of Domain.
3) Both the Table/Dataelemet/Domain are activated.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Remi

I'm facing a similar issue in S/4 2022:
@EndUserText.label: 'Span'
define abstract entity ZTRACE_TEST_API_SPAN
{
key span_id : abap.rawstring( 16 );
parent_span_id: abap.rawstring( 16 );
}
Number of positions < minimum number (256) for data type RSTR
I have no clue what it means..
