When displaying records in grid it will display 1st 128 chars. But if u print it or see the print preview then u can see the exact length of the field.

I found an SAP note for this:

Symptom

Entries in cells of the type CHAR or string are truncated after 128

characters in the SAP GUI.

More Terms

ALV Grid Control (cl_gui_alv_grid), function module (Full-screen) Grid

(Reuse_alv_grid_display, SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN), SAPGUI, back end, front end

Cause and Prerequisites

The data table that is sent to the front end only allows character values

with the length 128.

Solution

This is the standard system behavior and cannot be changed.

The note is not release-dependent.

Hi,

Maximum is 255 chars.

if we want to increase the width then in the Layout

define the Columnwidth_optimize

fs_layout-COLUMNWIDTH_OPTIMIZE = 'X'.

IF we want to restrict the filed lengh then in the fieldcatalog define the Output length.

Grid -> 255 chars

List -> 1024 chars for list use layout

as w_layout-min_linesize = '1024'.

w_layout-max_linesize = '1024'.

data : w_layout TYPE slis_layout_alv.
