Hi Sandipan,

refer notes 857823, 910300 and 959775. All these say there is a limitation of 128 characters.

857823 - ALV grid: Strings with a maximum of 128 characters

Symptom

Entries in cells of the type CHAR or string are truncated after 128

characters in the SAP GUI.

also refer,

ALV Grid Control (cl_gui_alv_grid), function module (Full-screen) Grid

(Reuse_alv_grid_display, SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN), SAPGUI, back end, front end

Cause and Prerequisites

The data table that is sent to the front end only allows character values

with the length 128.

Solution

This is the standard system behavior and cannot be changed.

Hi Sandipan,

The maximum length of ALV grid is 128 characters. You can find the same in note 857823 also.

From your question is pointing to PRINT of ALV then the maximum width you can have 255.

Otherwise you are pointing to display of ALV then no limit .but it will get scrollable
