ALV Cannot change Column Width in Field Catalog

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an ALV report where I want to specifically set the field widths of the columns because some of the standard domain lengths are very large (e.g. 255 chars).

I am building the field catalog like this:

  CLEAR gs_fieldcat.
  gs_fieldcat-col_pos      = 1.
  gs_fieldcat-fieldname    = 'NAME_ORG1'.
  gs_fieldcat-scrtext_m    = 'Employer Name'.
  gs_fieldcat-dd_outlen = 40.
  APPEND gs_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.

then calling the ALV like this:

  CALL METHOD go_alv->set_table_for_first_display
    CHANGING
      it_outtab                     = gt_evm_pm_data
      it_fieldcatalog               = gt_fieldcat .

gt_fieldcat is based on structure LVC_S_FCAT.

However, this has no effect on the column widths.

What am I doing wrong?

Use this.

gs_fieldcat-outputlen = '40'.
