Field width in ALV report

Question

Hi,
How to increase the field width of a field in ALV report.
I mean, in a ALV report, the field description of a field is not showing correctly. IF i try to extend the field width by the mouse/coursor, it displays the correct description.
IS there any way where for displaying the  field description correctly?
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
Go through the sample code,
*& Report ZDEMO_ALVLIST *
*& Example of a simple ALV List Report *
*& The basic requirement for this demo is to display a number of *
*& fields from the EKKO table. *
REPORT zdemo_alvlist .
TABLES: ekko.
type-pools: slis. "ALV Declarations
*Data Declaration
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_ekko,
ebeln TYPE ekpo-ebeln,
ebelp TYPE ekpo-ebelp,
statu TYPE ekpo-statu,
aedat TYPE ekpo-aedat,
matnr TYPE ekpo-matnr,
menge TYPE ekpo-menge,
meins TYPE ekpo-meins,
netpr TYPE ekpo-netpr,
peinh TYPE ekpo-peinh,
END OF t_ekko.
DATA: it_ekko TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_ekko INITIAL SIZE 0,
wa_ekko TYPE t_ekko.
*ALV data declarations
data: fieldcatalog type slis_t_fieldcat_alv with header line,
gd_tab_group type slis_t_sp_group_alv,
gd_layout type slis_layout_alv,
gd_repid like sy-repid.

perform data_retrieval.
perform build_fieldcatalog.
perform build_layout.
perform display_alv_report.
*& Form BUILD_FIELDCATALOG
Build Fieldcatalog for ALV Report
form build_fieldcatalog.
There are a number of ways to create a fieldcat.
For the purpose of this example i will build the fieldcatalog manualy
by populating the internal table fields individually and then
appending the rows. This method can be the most time consuming but can
also allow you more control of the final product.
Beware though, you need to ensure that all fields required are
populated. When using some of functionality available via ALV, such as
total. You may need to provide more information than if you were
simply displaying the result
I.e. Field type may be required in-order for
the 'TOTAL' function to work.
