Hi,

if you are using 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' to build the field catelog, then change the field length with below code :

loop at it_fieldcat into x_fieldcat.
 if x_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SMTP_ADDR'.
   x_fieldcat-OUTPUTLEN  = 20.
    modify it_fieldcat from x_fieldcat index sy-tabix.
   endif.
endloop.

if you are building the fieldcatelog in your own way then use below code to change the field length.

it_fieldcat-FIELDNAME = 'SMTP_ADDR'.

it_fieldcat-KEY = 'X'.

it_fieldcat-OUTPUTLEN = '20'.

it_fieldcat-SELTEXT_L = 'E-Mail'.

APPEND it_fieldcat .

CLEAR it_fieldcat .
