Hi

If you use a column with greater than 255 as the LINE-SIZE in the REPORT or NEW-PAGE statement, the following notes apply:

- Type definitions: The type group SLIST defines the valid maximum value for the list width (SLIST_MAX_LINESIZE), and contains a type for list lines with maximum type (SLIST_MAX_LISTLINE).

- Printing: You cannot print the list using standard printing functions. To print it, you must create a special print routine that arranges the data in shorter lines (for example, using the ... PRINT ON addition in the NEW-PAGE) statement.

- Accessing the entire contents of a line: To read or modify the entire contents of a wide line, you can use the ... LINE VALUE addition in the READ LINE or MODIFY LINE statements. This is an alternative to using SY-LISEL that is independent of the attributes of the system field (since the length of SY-LISEL is 255 characters).

- Horizontal lines: With extra-wide lists, the "ULINE." statement corresponds to "WRITE / SY-ULINE.". So, for example, "ULINE AT 5(300)." corresponds to "WRITE AT 5(300) SY-ULINE.".

- Output length: You can use the length specification in WRITE (or ULINE) to extend the output length of an extra-wide list up to the value of LINE-SIZE. If you want to output a whole field that is longer than 255 characters, you must use this, even if the field itself is defined as longer than 255 characters.

Example

NEW-PAGE LINE-SIZE 1000.

DATA: F1(500) VALUE 'F1'.

WRITE: / F1 COLOR COL_NORMAL. " Output with length 255

WRITE: /(500) F1 COLOR COL_NORMAL. " Output with length 500

Hello,

<b>REPORT rep [ LINE-SIZE col ]</b>

... LINE-SIZE col

Effect

Creates a report with col columns per line.

<b>If the LINE-SIZE specification is missing, the line length corresponds to the current screen width. The system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line size for generating lists. The maximum width of a list is 1023 characters. You should keep lists to the minimum possible size to improve useability and performance (recommendation: LINE-SIZE < 132).</b> For very wide lists (LINE-SIZE > 255), you should consult the notes for using LINE-SIZE

greater than 255.

Notes

The specified LINE-SIZE must not appear in quotation marks.

If the you want the report list (i.e. the output) to be printable, do not define a LINE-SIZE with a value greater than 132 because most printers cannot handle wider lists. <b>You cannot print lists wider than 255 characters at all using the standard print functions.</b> To print the contents of the lists, you need to write a special print routine that arranges the data in shorter lines (for example, using the PRINT ON addition in the NEW-PAGE statement.

<b>At the beginning of a new list level, you can set a fixed line width for the level using the ... LINE SIZE addition to the NEW-PAGE statement.</b>

Example

REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-SIZE 132.
