SM37 Spool truncates fields

[Former Member]

Hi. I hope someone can help me. I am running report S_ALR_87099931 in the background. When I display the spool in maximum width the report truncates the field containing the material. This does not happen when I run the report on line. I know I have seen a solution to this in the past but I cannot remember it. Can someone help? I do not have ability in ABAP. So I need a solution that an end user can select to open spool with all the information so it can be downloaded either to txt or excel. With my current settings, the file downloaded also truncates the material field.

Look for the "wider" avaliable spool format for your available printer devices (if required create via SPAD a dummy printer which allows very wide format) also you could define the layour of the ALV to optimize columns.

Hi Thomas,

As output fields are getting truncated,just check following spool setting.  goto SPAD transaction. then Settings -> Spool System.

In the others tab check the first check box in the Output Controller block, SAVE and exit.

Hope it works.
