Hi ..

The max list width is 1023 Characters.

So that will be the Limit for Single Column also.

REWARD IF HELPFUL.

Hi,

Thanks

I have defined the required column as string ,

so it accepts long text (which in my case is about 3000 characters).

in the field catalogue also i have defined outputlen of 4000.

but when i pass the internal table to ALV FM,

longtext output displays only about 150 characters.

if u understood my problem and have already encountered similiar issue

kindly reply.

hi Sajimon ,

I do not know the that a max no. of characters in a column can show in alv grid but you can specify the output length of a column in the fieldcatalog by specifying this filed in your fieldcatalog slis_fieldcat-outputlen .

And also one parameter i.e. slis_layout_alv-colwidth_optimize ,if you put this parameter as 'X' then it will optimize the column width depending on the content of your column.

I hope this will help you .
