Hi siva,
This is the standard pop-up to search any string on the list output. If you want to make it 5 characters long, then you have to implement the user exit (screen exit). since it is the standard screen, I dont think it is so easy to extend the screen field upto 5 characters long.
BTW you can enter max 999 hits. if you have a list output more than 1000 lines then you can use the checkbox starting at current line for doing a search starting again from 1000th line till the end line. This way you can search 'N' numbers of lines.
To summarize you have to do a search after each 999 hits e.g. your 999 hits has been completed on 500th line then you need to put the cursor on 501th line and then again do a search using the checkbox starting at current line.
If you have any more doubts then please let me know.
