How to increase length of character to 2000 in z table. Also how to display text of Z table field of length 255 in ALV Grid of SE16N.

[Sandra_Rossi]

The length of CHAR columns is limited to 255 characters. Use one of type STRING.

The fields in ALV grids are limited to 128 characters (workaround -> handle the click to display the text in a popup)

Hello, My Name is Harshanandan NM.

I'm having solution for above issue, In SAP tables standard data display is maximum 255 as every one knows. This 255 length is not saving in Z table only 128 characters shown in TCode (SE16N).

Case 1:- Rest of the 127 characters is shown in ALV List display by clicking on Views-> choose list output, to see complete 255 characters. (or) You can extend the length to check long text.

Case 2:- I need to use char data type instead of string/ raw string/ lchr/ lraw, - - - etc.

---------------- Please Helps me to resolve this ----------------

My Issues to understand & implement this case 1 & 2,

Questions:

1. So how to make/ extend the length ALV grid display to show complete 255 character length instead of 128 characters in Z Tables.?

2. The maximum length of Char is 1333. But how to extend this to 4000 - 5000 characters same as String data type.?. How ?.

3. As a technical how to plan our self without any functional idea.

4. Does Sap Note implementation helps to resolve these major issues, i,e when working with NW - ODATA.(version 2).

Thanks & Best Regards.

Harshanandan NM.

These are not bugs, these are features/limits:

• You cannot display more than 128 characters in one ALV cell.
• You cannot extend more than 1333 characters without a STRING.

So you have to deal with it.

Create custom code to display more than 128 characters. Use a STRING for more than 1333 characters.
