ALV report output more than 255

Hi All,
I have write alv list report
when i declare like
WRITE: / SY-ULINE(265).
it gave me error " Length specification "(265") exceeds fields length ("255").
i also write in report heading
"REPORT ZSIMPLE line-SIZE 500."
Where is the problem.
Thanks In Advance.
Regards,
Sam

The field SY-ULINE is defined as 255 characters long (check via SE11 on SYST structure or read [ABAP System Fields |http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENSYSTEM_FIELDS.htm]), so you cannot use the first 265 characters (that is what SY-ULINE(265) means), try to WRITE: SY-ULINE(255), SY-ULINE(10). (The maximum line size of a report is 1023 - [LINE-SIZE width|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPREPORT_LIST_OPTIONS.htm#!ABAP_ADDITION_2@2@])

Report output more than 255

Hi,
I want to print my report more than 255 characters..
i was taken line size more than 255 but it gives error.
Please give me the appropriate answer.

hI..
THIS FROM SAP HELP.
REPORT <rep> LINE-SIZE <width>.
This statement determines the width of the output list of program <rep> as <width> characters. If you set <width> to zero, the system uses the width of the standard list.
The maximum line width is 1,023 characters.
A line can be up to 255 characters long. However, if you intend to print the list, note that most printers cannot print lists wider than 132 characters. If you want to print the list directly while creating it, the page width must comply with one of the existing print formats. Otherwise, the system will not print the list (see Print Parameters). Make sure not to choose a list width exceeding 132 characters, unless you create the list for display only.
While creating the list, the system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line width. To adapt the list width to the current window width, see Lists with Several Pages.

Spool output more than 255 characters

Hi ,
i am running a ALV report in background whose output is more than 255 characters . but spool is showing only 255 charcters.
Do we have any setting to change to display all characters.
Or any OSS notes that can be applied.
Thanks & regards,
Sonika Ahuja

Hi,
You need to change the Format Type through SPAD transaction. The Format Type decides the number of rows and columns per page. By creating a new format type as per your requirement would solve the probelm.
Also, in the Report declaration, change the Line-Size to 300 or as per the width of your output.
For further details pls. refer this thread :
Re: Spool List output display > 255 char when the rpt is run in Background

ALV Cell with more than 255 characters.

Hello Guru's,
I need to display a longtext in ALV with other details. I am using READ_TEXT to get the Longtext and appending it to Internal table field, which i have defined as a string. I have debugged the code and it is containing around 450 characters. But, when i am trying to display using "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" it is only displaying 255 characters.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;
1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT

Do you get a excel with empty sheet with excel in place ?
Then you need to enable macro in trust center of excel sheet settings. The way you do this depends on the version of excel you are using.
I am able to get 200+ columns perfectly this way.

Hi,
Can you try to remove some of the columns of your query.
My doubt , is the no. rows is actually killing the report or the population of higher column also may cause the issue.
try to make a copy of you report, and then remove the charecteristics, keep 1-2 and all KFs. Then run and check for the o/p.
Is it getting over the 65k reows ?
Thank-You.

Smartform - Field not outputting more than 255 characters in a loop - Help!

Hi,
I have the following problem with my Smartform:
I am looping from a table and into a structure (Loop function).
1 of those fields is 1000 characters long and will be filled usually at 500 characters inside.
However, when looping and outputting the field (text node) in the format &Tablename-Fieldname&, only up to 255 characters are output.
To give you a better idea - I have a Loop Node and there, I am looping from a table (type table of) into a header
(type).
Using LCHR does not help.
Why does this happen? How can I fix this? Are any symbols available in Smartforms, like they are in SAPscript?
Any possible solutions will help.
Please help this is very important and very urgent.
Best Regards,
John

Hi,
if you want to output a long string in a smartform putting it as &name& in a text will not help you. For printing such an information you use temp include texts you create an delete on the fly while processing the SF.
To Do so:
- define GV_SUFFIX type char2, GS_HEAD a structure with fields TDOBJECT type TDOBJECT, TDNAME type TDOBNAME, TDID type TDID, TDSPRAS type SPRAS
- define a code step importing the text, the language and the GV_SUFFIX, in the coding , you convert the string to itf and than use function module SAVE_TEXT to save the include text and put the information into GS_HEAD
- define an include text where you put out the newly created include text
- define a code step to delete the temporary text with function module DELETE_TEXT

SQ01 Output fields having more than 255 characters

Hello,
I need to show query output more than 255 charaters but system is not allowing
Here is the Error message:
List is wider than 255 characters (generation not possible)
I used SQ01 as t-code to create query.
How can i show my output more than 255 characters
Thanks

Refer SAP Note 857823, ALV grid cannot display more than 128 characters per field and will truncate all the characters beyond if it's an ABAP program
From my experience it will not display the field at all in SQ01.
You need to write an abap program and split the field into two fields of length 128 and display side by side.
Work around: If you cannot write abap program uncheck (no display in query) that field in SQ02 and generate it. Execute your query and copy the key field use se16n to input in the key fields and use import to excel sheet function to get the required data.

Hi,
You can check notes 186603 to display report with more than 255 charecters.
you will get the detailed notes. In the Attachments you have the Z program code.
After creation of the new format, run the job with the new format ie. attach the new format to your printer, and run the job. Now take the spool number and put it as a parameters to the Z program.
Hope it work fine.

How to display more than 255 chars in background job with ALV Grid ????

Hi All,
I am using ALV grid with OO.
I have used call screen for ALV grid display. I have to display more than 255 characters in width. While running it, I can see the list perfectly.
But in background mode, the list is truncated after 255 chars.
Can anybody help how to send complete list(width more than 255 chars) to spool.
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi SAP fan,
YES you can run the ALV report in background mode.
To run the report in background do F9 instead of F8, then give immediate and save.
Now goto Sm35 goto job overview and view the job listed
Choose the job and press the spool button. It will show the list created on the next page. When u clcik the list u can see the ALV output.
To see this the job should be in the finished status.
How to define Periodic Jobs
1.Execute transaction SM36
2.Define Job name, Job class, Target server
3.Click on 'START CONDITION' button
4.Click on 'Date/Time' button
5.Enter Scheduled start DATE & TIME. Check mark 'Periodic Job' field. Click on 'Period values' button and select 'Hourly' or 'Dialy' or 'Weekly' or 'Monthly' or Other period and SAVE. Go back to main screen.
6.Click on 'STEPS' button and enter Program name and Variant under box 'ABAP Program'. Click on 'Print Specification' button and enter Printer name under 'Output device' and SAVE
7.Click on SAVE button until you get message on bottom of the screen that describes 'Job XYZ saved with status: Scheduled'.
8.Click on 'Job overview' button or execute SM37 transaction.
9.Select the appropriate 'Job name', 'User name', 'Job Status' & Schedule date under 'Job start condition' and click on 'Execute' button or press F8.
10.You will now see all your scheduled JOBS.
Case: 2
You can Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
 RECEIVING e_offline = off.
 IF off IS INITIAL.
 CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
 EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
 ENDIF.
Case: 3
if you are using OO ALV.
Just before creating the custom container check for the following condition.
Batch or Web Reporting
IF cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT o_custcontainer
EXPORTING
container_name = lc_custcontrol
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
cntl_system_error = 2
create_error = 3
lifetime_error = 4
lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
OTHERS = 6
ENDIF.
You can see the output in Spool in transaction SP01.
Good Luck and thanks

ALV Report Print problem after 255 character line size

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I have created one alv report where i am getting output more then 255 character line size.
so whenever i tried to print this report it print only line upto first 255 character and truncated after it in printing.
is there any way i can print this report without truncation ....
Thanks,
Jack

no there is no such way because you acan print at most 99 columns and utmost 255 characters .
and alternative is take your filed in separate screen and make it appear through hotspot in another filedcatalog.then u will get more space .
reward if useful
