Optimizing Table Control Width

Former Member — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 10:25:32 GMT

Hello,

I have used the Table Maintenance Generator to build the relevant screens for displaying/ editing data from 2 tables.

However when i maintain this view in SM30 it displays the table control with horizontal scroll bars. There are about 22 columns in the view and I would like to see them all in one screen.

I have tried changing the <i>Lgth</i> attribute of the Table Control from SE51. It shows 83. While trying to change it to about 140 I get an error message saying that 140 exceeds maximum width of 83.

Is 83 the maximum possible width for a table control? How can I change it?

Please respond with your quick tips!!!

Regards,

Priya

Hi Priya,

Go to the screen layout painter form se51. See if you are trying to increase the size of the table control beyond the size of the screen itself which obvously isn't possible.

Ravi

Thanks so much Ravi. Your tip proved very useful. The screen size set by an earlier developer had got reset when I did a re-run of the Table Maintenance Generator. I overlooked this small but important detail.

Thanks once again for the prompt response. It helped me resolve an urgent issue.
