regarding background scheduling

Former Member — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 08:14:57 GMT

Hi experts,

I have generated an ALV list that contains line width of more than 400 characters

in the output(31 columns).

But when I run program in the backgound, the spool report has cut off the last several columns.Can any body suggest me a solution so that the entire columns are available when i run the pgm in the background.

Thanks & Regards,

Krishna

I THINK FOR BACK GROUND PROCESSING THERE IS SOME LIMITATION OF 255 CHAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT NOT SURE.

I'm wondering if REPORT ... LINE-SIZE 400 (or > 400) would help with this. Just a wild guess: it might have also something to do with the device that is associated with the spool output and paper sizes that it can handle.

Check ABAP help on LINE-SIZE. I'm afraid the previous poster is right and most likely spool can not handle over 255 characters.

ALV has a feature to show more no of columns in foreground. But, the case is when the same ALV is run in background it just behaves like a normal report.

Whenever a report is run in background, the maximum linesize display is 255 characters. So, even if u run ALV in background the output size is displayed as 255 due to which the additional columns are been shown in next line...just check them.

Hi Jelena Perfiljeva ,

Intially I also tried by declaring the line size as 430.

But it raised an warning message saying that the last few colums would be truncated.

Thanks & Regards,
