Changing ALV column size

[Former Member]

Hello Experts.

I'm working on ALV programming.

I made very basical ALV chart but there was a small problem.

The size of every column is the same so There is a column doesn't show the data properly.

I know that we can change the length of column in Setting -> Column -> Optimize width but I want it be printed right after the program is excuted.

Is it possible to set the length of each column?

This is the code which controls columns

FORM BUILD_FIELDCAT.

L_POS = L_POS + 1.

CLEAR FIELDCAT_LN.

FIELDCAT_LN-COL_POS = L_POS.

FIELDCAT_LN-FIELDNAME = 'STUDENT_NO'.

FIELDCAT_LN-REPTEXT_DDIC = 'Student no'.

APPEND FIELDCAT_LN TO FIELDCAT.

L_POS = L_POS + 1. "<- I want to make this column longer

CLEAR FIELDCAT_LN.

FIELDCAT_LN-COL_POS = L_POS.

FIELDCAT_LN-FIELDNAME = 'STUDENT_NAME'.

FIELDCAT_LN-REPTEXT_DDIC = 'Student name'.

APPEND FIELDCAT_LN TO FIELDCAT.

L_POS = L_POS + 1.

CLEAR FIELDCAT_LN.

FIELDCAT_LN-COL_POS = L_POS.

FIELDCAT_LN-FIELDNAME = 'SEIBETU'.

FIELDCAT_LN-REPTEXT_DDIC = 'Gender'.

APPEND FIELDCAT_LN TO FIELDCAT.

L_POS = L_POS + 1.

CLEAR FIELDCAT_LN.

FIELDCAT_LN-COL_POS = L_POS.

FIELDCAT_LN-FIELDNAME = 'KOKUGO'.

FIELDCAT_LN-REPTEXT_DDIC = 'KOKUGO'.

APPEND FIELDCAT_LN TO FIELDCAT.

L_POS = L_POS + 1.

CLEAR FIELDCAT_LN.

FIELDCAT_LN-COL_POS = L_POS.

FIELDCAT_LN-FIELDNAME = 'SANSU'.

FIELDCAT_LN-REPTEXT_DDIC = 'SANSU'.

APPEND FIELDCAT_LN TO FIELDCAT.

L_POS = L_POS + 1.

CLEAR FIELDCAT_LN.

FIELDCAT_LN-COL_POS = L_POS.

FIELDCAT_LN-FIELDNAME = 'RIKA'.

FIELDCAT_LN-REPTEXT_DDIC = 'RIKA'.

APPEND FIELDCAT_LN TO FIELDCAT.

L_POS = L_POS + 1.

CLEAR FIELDCAT_LN.

FIELDCAT_LN-COL_POS = L_POS.

FIELDCAT_LN-FIELDNAME = 'SYAKAI'.

FIELDCAT_LN-REPTEXT_DDIC = 'SYAKAI'.

APPEND FIELDCAT_LN TO FIELDCAT.

ENDFORM.

Hi,

If i am not wrong, I guess u want to change the length of the column in ALV output display.

You can do this by passing

wa_fieldcatalog-OUTPUTLEN = ' '. (while building catalog).

Reward points if helpful.

Hi,

Use this..

DATA:IS_LAYOUT    TYPE  SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV.

   IS_LAYOUT-COLWIDTH_OPTIMIZE = 'X'.

*&*& pass this IS_LAYOUT to ALV function module.

*&*& CALL FN MOD FOR DISPLAY
   CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
        EXPORTING
             I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM       = SY-CPROG
             I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND  = 'F_UCOMM_EMP_CATGY'
*            I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET = 'F_STATUS_MAIN_SCREEN'
             I_CALLBACK_TOP_OF_PAGE   = 'F_TOP_EMPL_CATGY'
             IS_LAYOUT                = IS_LAYOUT
             IT_FIELDCAT              = INT_FIELDCAT
        TABLES
             T_OUTTAB                 = GIT_EMP_CATG.

This is working fine, without giving length...
it accept as per column content..

Hi you can define the description of a filed

s_fcat-seltext_l = 'Text'.

it will be for 40 char space

s_fcat-seltext_m = 'text'.

this for medium size means 20 char space ..

s_fcat-seltext_l = 'text.'

this for small one 10 char space

I guess the modification to above code will work , try it now.

I actually added, a fieldcat called OUTPUTLEN with which we can fix the column size.

Double check whether the name of the field the fixes the output length is OUTPUTLEN or OUTPUT_LENGTH.

All the best.
