Screen size changes

Hi all,

I would like to know if there is anything to change the screen size of a field.

The issue is,  we have a field in a report which is reading from an internal table. Th field length of the table is 500 characters. However, the field length in the report is not accomodating 500 characters. Is there anyway we can increase the field length in the report?

Appreciate any inputs

Thanks,

Sai

Hi,

Input filed for 500 chars..? Use text edit instead of input field.

Create a custom container in your screen and place a text edit in that using cl_gui_textedit class.

Hi,

You can set the field length maximum to the size of screen. In this case the defined length is greater than the visible length so automatically the field text becomes scrollable towards right.

Instead you can actually display the text in a editor.

Use any of the function modules TERM_CONTROL_EDIT, TXW_TEXTNOTE_EDIT and CATSXT_SIMPLE_TEXT_EDITOR for displaying the text in form of editor.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
