How to increase Character length from 78 to 255 SPOOL LIST

Hello team,

I have one issue in SPOOL LIST

I am submitting report using JOB_OPEN Submit Report and JOB_CLOSE which generates Spool list in SM37

This report would show the log which is more than 150 char length

But I am able to see text not more then 78 chars

I believe I need to change the Format in Spool Request to show 225 char length text

I can not Save this format, because Save tab is disabled.

Can anyone please let me know how to change the format

In your program, you should indicate

REPORT ... LINE-SIZE 255.

When the program generates the ABAP List (Print List/List Spool if you print), it will print up to 255 columns.

When you choose the layout, it will also propose layouts which suit 255 characters.

NB: instead of "REPORT" it can be FUNCTION-POOL, PROGRAM, depending on the program type.
