I`m searching for a function to limit the number of characters a user can type into the headline field in the editor.

1What do you mean by headline field? Can you explain it a bit more? – Vinod Dalvi Jul 4 '13 at 10:30

I`m talking about the editor field, where you type in the headline, the title of your article or page. – John Jul 4 '13 at 11:10

You could add this function :
add_action('publish_post', 'wpse_105297_max_char');
function wpse_105297_max_char() {
global $post;
$title = $post->post_title;
if (strlen($title) >= 100 )
wp_die( "The max lenght is 100 for title" );
}
This will prevent users from using too much longer titles.

Thank you. This works pretty well. Just added some usability.
add_action('publish_post', 'wpse_105297_max_char'); function wpse_105297_max_char() { global $post; $title = $post->post_title; $id = $post->ID; $url = $bloginfo->url; if (strlen($title) >= 100 ) wp_die( "The max lenght is 100 for title<br /><br /> <a href=\"$url/wp-admin/post.php?post=$id&action=edit\">back to edit</a>." ); }– John Jul 4 '13 at 11:25
