Application file output truncated

Hi,

I am transferring data from an internal table to output file on application server,
but when I check in AL11, I see the line is truncated.

I've stepped thru the Debugger and see that the fields are showing in the table.
When the table is transferred however and I look at the file, data is missing.


In other post I read there is a limitation that only 255 characters will be seen in the AL11 file.

This limitation is just for displaying, though the data would actually be written.

So I downloaded the file using CG3Y and found it to be true. Entire file is written but not visible in AL11.


Now my question is: Is there a way I can the entire file in AL11 (stretched more than one line -- maybe 2-3 lines).

If yes, what needs to be done to accomplish this.


Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Hi,

This is a standard behavior of AL11 where it displays only the first 255 characters.

What you can do do is to write using a  newline character after each 254 characters CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE or CR_LF and try .. but in that case while reading you have to build a custom logic to read the correct data. Maybe appending some character( * or ! ) at the end .
