use TYPE STRING, this is as long as desired (and memory is available).

You can split your string at 255th character and place it in internal table, so it will wrap.

you can use like below

BEGIN OF gty_file1,

line(800),

END OF gty_file1,

Hmm...

Excel wraps up the data.

Try double clicking on the top of the field in excel and check whether there are over 255 characters getting displayed.

Regards.
