Check Text (Control Element)
Check texts or explanatory texts are display-only fields. In general, they follow an input field and explain the input data in more detail, for example, the meaning of a numeric or alphanumeric key.
Guidelines
Appearance
Check texts appear flat on the template and have the same color as the background. If the user has entered check texts, check texts can also appear recessed and in the color of the background, for example on follow-up screens.

Arrangement
In general, check texts appear next to an input field (separated by one blank character, when there is no Possible entries pushbutton).
If a
non-permanently displayed Possible entries poushbutton is displayed , leave three blank characters between input/output field and the check text to the right of the field.
The Screen Painter makes it impossible to use the first three characters after a field.
Alignment
Check texts (explanatory texts) should not be aligned if this positions them to far away from the corresponding fields. In general, leave one blank character between the Possible entries pushbutton and/or the input field without a possible entries poushbutton and the check text.
