ABAP Programming to display more than 255 characters in the screen

Hi
I want to display more than 255 characters in the screen after executing a report but i cant able to do that.
Please help me to find out the solution.
Thanks
Mrutyunjaya Trpathy

Hai tripathy,
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 upto 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
hope u can try in this way.

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

How to display more than 132 characters in a smartform

How to display more than 255 characters in a smartform.
Regards,
Sangeeta.

why the heck would you use read_text when you want to print a text/note on a form?
in SAP-Script we use the "INCLUDE"-Statement for this.
and in smartforms a Text-node of type 'I'.
you can not write all in one line and expect the system to handle this like a floating text.
one character takes a cretain amount of space (varying for different characters and font and font sizes).
you Page has a certain width, so where is the miracle in the thesis that on a sheet of paper with a certain width just a certain amount of characters will fit?

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.

More than 255 characters in a table text field

Dear experts,
i am facing a problem (in WD Alv too) that i can not display more than 255 characters in a single text field.
I want to display a table containing a description field without a limitation of its length. As soon as providing a (formatted) string longer than 255 characters of length, no interactive form is shown on screen.
Debugging a while, the following error message occurs;
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: XMLFM Exception - PDF render operation exception, reason code: 0 : InvalidXDPException: Xml parsing error: reference to invalid character number (error code 14) ...
Does anybody have similar problems to mine?
Did anyone resolve the issue to show more than 255 characters in a table in interactive form?

Florian Royer

This is how i get the text with format (line feeds).
zz_description is type string.
My table is on a page, wrapped in a subform. and zz_description is type text field.
Yes, i maintained "allow multiple lines" and did not limit length somehow.
The problem arises in portal, pressing the preview button of a zform. providing a string <255 characters of length, everything works fine.

The CSV file on the application server not showing more than 255 characters

Hi All,
We are using SAP 4.6C & the CSV file getting created on the application server has more than 255 characters, all the characters beyond 255 are getting truncated, even while downloading the file the same no. of characters are coming in the file.
Can any one please let me know how can we overcome the problem in SAP 4.6C?

Hi Buddy,
You can't display morethan 255 Char. If you see the fun mod you will see the the limit,I also faced the same problem. Probably you start checking by adding fields one by one or you have to reduce the length of some fields in order to display the full data in CSV.

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

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

Unable to read more than 255 characters in a string data type.

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports version 11.5.8.826 to generate reports from databases such as MS-Excel & BaaN.
In Excel, there are records which carry string lengths of more than 255 characters. All though the fields are getting displayed in the report, the data being displayed gets truncated once it reaches a length of 255 characters.
Kindly provide me with a solution this problem.
Regards

Hello Manish,
I know that older versions of Crystal (Crystal 10 and older ) had a limitation of only 256 Characters for a string value. You should be able to use this code to get what you need.
We were successfully able to print out the Declaration of Independence through a Crystal report using something very similiar to this.

I like this version better because the array is completely dynamic. It can be as big or as small as it needs to be. There is always room for optimizations. But hopefully this will get you started on the right path.

More than 255 characters required in excel send as attachment in mail.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to send displayed list in an ALV report as attachment in excel through mail. I have used FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. Now the problem is my excel data in more than 255 characters in a line. It is about 400 characters.But it is taking upto 255 characters in the internal table which is passed to parameter contents_bin . This is because the internal table is of type SOLISTI1. But the excel should hold atleast 400 characters as per my requirement. How to overcome this issue ? Please suggest me...
Regards,
SURYA

Say your records are exactly 400 length (I am saying 400 for sake of simplifying things, in reality record lengths can be variable and have to be calculated using STRLEN)
You will cut the first record at 255 length and put it in first row. You will put next 145 characters in 2nd row, followed by newline characters (hex 0D and 0A) at positions 146 & 147 (which indicates end of record for excel, so that it puts next record in a new excel row).
The second record will start from 148th character in second row till 255, that is 108 characters and will extend into 3rd row till 400 - 108 = 292th character followed by newline characters (hex 0D and 0A) at postions 293 & 294, followed by contents of 3rd record and so on and so forth.
If you records are of variable length you can also think of always blank padding them to create a record of such a fixed length that always your records are lesser than that and fit into it. This will leave some blank spaces at the end of each record in excel, which may be fine.

How to send text file as an email attachment havin more than 255 characters

My requirement is to generate a text file and to send this text file as E-mail attachment. I am using FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to send the E-mail. but here the limitation is the number of characters per line must not be more than 255 characters whereas in my case it is exceeding 1000 characters per line. could anyone please suggest me what should i do now ? Each field in the text file has to be tab delimited.

Simplest might well be to use javamail API instead of the two tags that Sites provides, e.g. see email - Sending mail attachment using Java - Stack Overflow for a full example.
