How is address normally displayed in ALV

Question

Hi guys,
  I am still new at ABAP and my assignment is to display company name and address from KNA1 on an ALV grid given a set of customer number.
  The problem i am facing is that the addresses are not consistent(eg some contains name1 and name2, some only contains name1).
  Do I create seperate columns for each field of KNA1 in the  ALV, or is it possible to create a column with multiple lines to hold the address?
Please advise. sample programs with ALV that displays address would be helpful
Thanks

Hi
It's possible to create only one:
If ITAB is your output table, define a field NAME instead of NAME1 and NAME2 and while you're upoloading the address data concatenate those two fields in NAME.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
      NAME1 LIKE KNA1-NAME1,
      NAME2 LIKE KNA1-NAME2,
        NAME(70),
      END    OF ITAB.
I don't know how you load the data:
DATA: LEN TYPE I.
SELECT * KNA1 WHERE KUNNR IS SO_KUNNR
LEN = STRLEN( KNA1-NAME1 ).
WRITE KNA1-NAME1(LEN) TO ITAB-NAME.
LEN = LEN + 1.
WRITE KNAM1-NAME2     TO ITAB-NAME+LEN.
APPEND ITAB.
ENDSELECT.
