External reference for data entry: length limitation

Dear friends. Using COMMENT LEGAL function in order to select strings and get their respective codes from a separate REC file, I wanted to get CID10 codes and their respective Descriptions during data entry.
In my parent CHK file you can see:
DISEASE COMMENT LEGAL CID10.REC SHOW TYPE COMMENT CIDCODE END
CIDCODE NOENTER END
In my reference CHK file you'd read: DISEASE KEY 1 END
CID10 KEY UNIQUE 2 END
It's working fine, except that, in the pop-up window of reference the description of DISEASE is shown length limited to 30 characters, despite of my reference REC file showing 70.
Any clue? Thanks in advance. MARCO MOURA
