Hi Diana,

Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules, which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report.

This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.

In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.

For more Details refer the following link.

how can v change the data type of a predefined table......

I think we need access key to do that. I dont want to go to that extent .

My question is simple .

If i want to insert a record (whose length is more than 255 )such as Material Description to the field MAKTX in the table MAKT, how can i attain this?

[prasanth_kasturi]

Hi,

you can enter values in predefined table according to the domain length only,

maktx for example can hold only 40 characters not more than that,

so you can enter only 40 if you enter more than that they will be truncated

Hi,

You can use domain 'TEXT1000' in your declaration of table field and program, it can allow you upto 1000 char's.
