Hey,

I've a field in my ALV that is empty as it will be used to physically write on the print out. I cant seem to get it to output to 50 characters long even by using Outputlen = 50 in fieldcat.(only outputs length of header txt e.g. 'Free text')

Only way go it working was having the heading 'Free text......................... ' So the last fullstops forced it to output the whole title length.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Use the following parameter in LAYOUT.

COLWIDTH_OPTIMIZE by using this while developing the layout,you can meet your requirement.

Reward,if useful.
