How to fix the width of the column when using alv table

Question

Hi ,
I am displaying the contents in a table. Of course using alv component i displayed the content. Now the problem is the column width is not fixed with value of the table entries( based on the domain length level). As  length  of field increases or decreses as the length of the content increases or decreases. I wanted to fix the column width whatever be the length of the contents.
Can any one help in this regard ?
Thanks Pons.
