ALV - line size...

Former Member — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 12:30:26 GMT

Hi,

I want to display text in the ALV, but I only get 129 characters...

I already changed the text field in fieldcat to an outputlength above 129, but that didn't help...

I read in the Forum that there is a restriction to 255 characters...

any suggestions?

TIA,

Sebastian

i think you must set your layout like

is_layout-colwidth_optimize = ' '.

so you can set your colwidth size.

doesn't work too...

there is still the restriction for 129 characters...

but the strange thing is that if I restrict it in the field catalogue to 100characters it shows 129c's too... don't know why but it's not a buffer issue...

Have you set any report size in the REPORT Statement?

Remove that and check. Might help.

DD_OUTLEN - You use this field to specify the field output length for external display. This is only relevant to fields without reference to the Data Dictionary for which you want to modify the output using a conversion exit (see Using the Conversion Exit). The column width (field OUTPUTLEN of the field catalog) does not need to be identical to the output length for external display ( DD_OUTLEN ).

Reward points if this helps.

Hi,

It is working if I use REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY..

TYPE-POOLS: slis.

DATA: gt_fieldcat TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv.

DATA: BEGIN OF wa_mara,

text TYPE CHAR200,

END OF wa_mara.

CONCATENATE '40 - 12345678901234567890123456788901234567890'

'80 - A2345678901234567890123456788901234567890'

'200 - D2345678901234567890123456788901234567890'

try with these options

1) in the layout wa_LAYOUT-NO_MIN_LINESIZE = 'X'

2) NEW-PAGE LINE-SIZE 255

Re: ALV - line size...

Former Member — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 07:20:02 GMT

@naren: list works, correct... but this already worked in my old ALV if I switch to the list instead of the grid...

@chandra: there isn't such a field in my layout...

NEW-PAGE did not solved the problem too
