How to increase spool file width?

Former Member — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 05:07:16 GMT

Hi,

I've a spool file with lot of columns. When I display it (in graphical format) through SM37, the columns appear in two rows and thus it becomes difficult to understand the data.

How can I increase the width so that all columns appear in a single row?

Regards,

Vikrant.

Hi,

I suppose that the report you executed to have this list is a cutom report.

If it's the case you will have to add the following extra statement (in bold) in your report to define the number of columns during output

REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-SIZE 132.

... LINE-SIZE col

Creates a report with col columns per line.

If the LINE-SIZE specification is missing, the line length corresponds to the current screen width. The system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line size for generating lists. The maximum width of a list is 1023 characters. You should keep lists to the minimum possible size to improve useability and performance (recommendation: LINE-SIZE < 132). For very wide lists (LINE-SIZE > 255), you should consult the notes for using LINE-SIZE

Hope that the following info will help you

Regards
