Standard table in screen adjustment width height

Hi Friends,

Just a basic question on settings..I'm working on a smartform program when I noticed I couldn't adjust the frame in order to

better see the table. I attached a screenshot, Hope you can help asap.

This is when you use templates in smartforms, just click on details (instead of table painter)

Thank you.

Geoff

I don't understand the question. Or if it's really what I think, maybe you're novice in SAP, but didn't you notice that there's not a single screen in the SAP GUI which offers the possibility of changing the elements dynamically? (SAP GUI restriction)

No. This is not possible as the table width and height is fixed.

Thanks,

Thank you Sandra and Gourab. Actually, not new in SAP but I came across a site having a bigger screen....made me think how the screen got bigger like it... besides, I don't think I'll just adapt deal with the pain of using that small screen and navigate through scroll up and down, SAP must have offered a way to adjust this and make it bigger so that developers will have a room. In a nutshell, there must be a way we just don't know yet..

Here's the link:

Actual screenshot:

Compare my screenshot to this one. As you can see it is wider.

Thank you.

I understand your question now.

Yes, a few controls have "minimal size" and "automatic resizing" attributes for height and width (controls: table control, custom container area, subscreen area). The resizing will occur if the size of the window is sufficient.

So, if you're in some screens which have controls with "automatic resizing", increase the number of pixels of the window, and these controls will be maximized.

SAP GUI is a past technology and not maintained for about one decade now I think, same as Smart Forms, so don't ask SAP to invest on that.

I can observe that the width is not changed. about the empty line under %C3, i think it could be related to the difference of SAP version as I checked my system: there is a unused sub-screen under the table control (screen 1095), so the height cant be change.

Cf transaction code SE51.

The subscreen SAPLSTXB 1095 has a width of 83 maximum, its table control TC_OUTPUT_STRUCT has width 81, and horizontal resizing is off, so really there's no chance to enlarge its width.

Note that the table control has 12 lines i.e. maximum 10 lines + heading + scrollbar, vertical resizing is allowed; SAPLSTXB 1095 is contained in the subscreen area SUB_ITEM of screen SAPLSTXB 0100, which has a minimum size of 15 lines, it means that its subscreen 1095 can be reduced up to minimum two visible lines in the table control.

Thanks everyone, so it's up to auto adjustment based on window size. It's standard therefore I can't manually set the adjustment, playing with screen resolution should do the trick. Thanks!
