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

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.
REGARDS,
PRABA.

Display more than 1023 Columns in alv

can we display more than 1023 columns in alv. please provide inputs on any approach that can be followed to achieve this.
Thanks.

Hi,
just for the record. Here's the code to create a table with 10000 columns, in this example all of type vendor. It could be modified a little to create any dynamic table. Without any visible limits and can be displayed in SALV.
DATA:
 lv_lifnr TYPE lifnr,
 lv_numc7 TYPE numc7,
 lt_components TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table,
 lo_struc_descr TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
 lo_tdescr TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr,
 lr_tab TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
 <component> TYPE LINE OF abap_component_tab,
 <range_tab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
 <tab> TYPE table.
* build dynamic table
DO 10000 TIMES.
 APPEND INITIAL LINE TO lt_components ASSIGNING <component>.
 <component>-type ?= cl_abap_datadescr=>describe_by_data( lv_lifnr ).
 lv_numc7 = sy-index.
 CONCATENATE 'FIELD' lv_numc7 INTO <component>-name.
ENDDO.
lo_struc_descr ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>create( lt_components ).
lo_tdescr = cl_abap_tabledescr=>create( lo_struc_descr ).
CREATE DATA lr_tab TYPE HANDLE lo_tdescr.
ASSIGN lr_tab->* TO <tab>.
APPEND INITIAL LINE TO <tab>.
I discovered that it takes some time (15 seconds or more) to create, even F1 and F4 in the SALV table use considerable time to pop up, I think (SAP never imagined
But it works - and the code is so simple!
Kind regards,
Clemens

Requirement is to print more than 60 characters after ALV grid display

Hi Consultants,
Using 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' , i have tried to display some text at end of page event, but ot is only displaying upto 60 characters, because SLIS is suporting oly 60 characters.
But my requirement is to print the line of text , i am getting the text through container.
suggest me the way to do.
Thanks in advance.
Madhan

There are a few possible ways ... here's one....
First of all, you cannot load more than 60 characters into a field at a time. So, if you create two info objects, one as a key and the other as text, you can load multiple lines.
For example, in Quality Notifications, there are Memo fields that can go on ... and on ... and on. What I do in these cases is add two characteristics to my data target called ZCOUNT and ZMEMO. ZCOUNT is the number of 60 character segments I will need to grab and ZMEMO is filled with each 60 character length of the memo field.
If you receive a 300 character field, then you break it up into 5 ZCOUNT's and create 4 additional, identical records with the Memo Field changed for each 60 characters of length.
It gets a bit trickier if you have multiple 60+ character lengths, however, if you know you will always have 75 characters, then it's easier to use two info objects ... 60 + 15 characters each.
Good Luck,
Brian

How to display more than 255 characters in the report

        END OF it.
DO 503 TIMES.
IF sy-index = 500.
    WRITE '500'.
ELSE.

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.

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?
Regards,
Florian Royer

 MOVE ls_longtext_mast-longtext TO ls_action_item-zz_description.
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.

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?

It is not possible in ALV .. As per OSS note 857823
Below is the reason for same.. I think you should to split in number of columns.
Summary
Symptom
Entries in cells of the type CHAR or string are truncated after 128 characters in the SAP GUI.
Other terms
ALV Grid Control (cl_gui_alv_grid), function module (Full-screen)
Grid (Reuse_alv_grid_display, SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN), SAPGUI, back end, front end
Reason 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.

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.

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.
