LINE-SIZE

Former Member — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 07:25:56 GMT

I have a program that needs a lot of column and it will took 1000 for line-size. However, the limit is 930. Is there a way to override it. Or change it be change in the configuration?

I believe the limit is 1023, but you need to use NEW-PAGE statament.

NEW-PAGE LINE-SIZE 1000.

Better way, I believe is to use ALV instead of normal report.

But is this header possible with ALV?

Hi Adrian

I think the problem is on what you need.

The advantage of ALV isn't to can listed list longer than 255 char, but to can manage several colunms and decide which ones have to be showed and which ones hided.

Anyway you there's a limit of the numbers of colunm of ALV grid.

If you easly need to display an ABAP list longer than 255 char you can use NEW-PAGE statament.

This is very helpful. By the way, what's the limit column for ALV?

Thanks.

Hi !

The limitation of the LINE-SIZE is 1023 so your 1000 column list should be no problem.

What error do you get at LINE-SIZE 1000 ???

I'm getting this error.

WRITE_TO_OFFSET_TOOLARGE

Error analysis:

In a "WRITE src TO dest+off[(len)] [INDEX i]" statement, "off" contains a target field offset (931) which is larger than the length of the target field "dest" (930).

This is not allowed

can you show the code once..so that it is easy to correct,

Re: LINE-SIZE

Former Member — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 09:58:32 GMT

Declaring dest as dest(1023) should solve ur problem

Check below example

DATA: SRC(1023),

DST(50).

SRC = 'HELLO'.

WRITE: SRC TO DST+49(5). "works fine DST = ' H'.

WRITE: SRC TO DST+60(5). "Gives WRITE_TO_OFFSET_TOOLARGE dump

Re: LINE-SIZE

Former Member — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 10:10:37 GMT

Hi,

Since the size of DST is 50, u cant offsct more than 50... Increase its size..it will work..
