Hi,

I am displaying 5 fields in ALV report where heading of all 5 fields are like

1. Purchase Order

2. SES Number

3. PO Type

4. GR Date

5. Invoice Amount

But in report i could see only first 10 characters of heading..i.e,

Instead of "Purchse Order" it is displaying "Purchase O'..first 10 charaters. How to display complete heading ...

Hello,

Are you populating the fieldcat table using LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE or manually populating the fieldcat?

Please clarify.

Hi,

Increase outputlen option in the field catalog.

wa_fc-outputlen = '30'.

Hi,

Directly populating IT_FIELDCATALOG.... Not used MERGE.

if we increase outpuit length field values will be restricted to 30 characters......

Hi,

You can use below fields in the struture fieldcatalog.

fieldcatalog-seltext_m   = 'Purchase Order'.
fieldcatalog-seltext_l   = 'Purchase Order'.
fieldcatalog-seltext_s   = 'Purchase Order'.

Hello,

In the structure LVC_S_FCAT you have the field SCRTEXT_L. This is the longest column name that is allowed in the fieldcat (40 chars).

In your fieldcat you have to pass the values as:

ST-FIELDCAT-SCRTEXT_L = 'Purchase Order'.
ST-FIELDCAT-COLDDICTXT = 'L'.

Try this & check.

anversha,

i did the same...Ok to be more specific to question, how can we tell SAP which label to use. As u specifed thr are 3 labels short, medium and long...s/m is now using short..how to tell it to use Medium or long. evenif u give more than 10 char in short like fieldcatalog-seltext_s = 'Purchase Order' only 10 characters will be displayed.

U r a genius...

[anversha_s]

Hi,

do like this.

fieldcatalog--reptext    = 'Purchase Order'.
 fieldcatalog-seltext_l   = 'Purchase Order'.
 fieldcatalog-outputlen   = 30.

if u gave the field

gd_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X',

then remove 'X' and put

space.

Hi,

Define the layout and pass the following parameteras 'X'.

   wa_layout- colwidth_optimize = 'X'.

It will automatically take care of the field length.

No need to give output length =XXXX.

Giving colwidth_optimize ='X'. is the best practices.
