Modify code line size in SE38

Former Member — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 09:07:48 GMT

Hi guys,

We all know that in se38 the code line is 72 characters long. But how can this dimension be changed? Because I have seen in other systems (NetWeaver) that the code lines are longer than 72 characters. Is there a way to do this also in R/3?

Thanks in advance.

U can increase line size using the addition LINE-SIZE beside the report heading

REPORT demo_list_line_count LINE-SIZE 40 LINE-COUNT 4.

WRITE: 'SY-LINCT:', sy-linct.

Thanks

increase line-size.

LINE-size can be adjusted up to a maximum of 1023.

REPORT program

[NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING]

<b>[LINE-SIZE number_of_columns]</b>

[LINE-COUNT number_of_lines[(number_of_footer_lines)]]

[MESSAGE-ID message_class]

[DEFINING DATABASE logical_database].

Are you asking about the number of characters per line ???

If so I think it is not possible to increase the characters per line. But we can declare as

 no standard page heading line-size 255.

Thank you all for your replies, especially Shiba.

I see now that my version of R/3 does not have that option, but the NetWeaver versions do have it.
