Hello Amit,

Its is not possible to display these texts in an ALV Grid in an elegant way.

The general approach here is that you make one of the fields (i.e., columns) a pushbutton and then when the user clicks on this button, you show the text in a pop-up.

first of all alv has limit of length for each field, the max you can display in normal grid would be 128 to 256 characters.

One way to display long text is to give a link for each record displayed in the ALV like a hotspot. So that when user clicks it, you can open a note pad in display mode and show the entire text.

Other method would be to duplicate the records and split the text and display it among those records.
