Maximum output File length?

mattnewell — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:52:21 GMT

I am trying to write a 1208 character output file, but the file seems to truncate at 1100 characters. Is this a program issue or a limit?

Thanks

You may want to check to see the size of the itab or structure that you downloading this file into. Look at how many characters the structure is.

Alvaro / Matt,

Are you downloading this file (as in to the client machine) or trying to output it to the App server?

Outputting a file generally means writing to the App server - which is not downloading.

If you are outputting to the App server, what OS are you running?

HI Matt,

in sap the system allows a maximum of 1023 characters.

Thanks,

Hey Matt:

Check the length of your structure. A previous employer that I worked for generate files that had character lengths of 2500 characters for benefit entitlements. Check the size of the Z-Structure if thats what you are using.

As for the 1023 size limit, that is an SAP table, via SE16 length limit, but Z-tables and structures, you should be able set those accordingly.
