LINE-SIZE 132 / 255 / ???!

Hi Experts,
I need to develop a Classic Report.
But, it has 18 ( columns which does hv more characters i.e. fileds like, KUNNR, MATNR, VBELN, EBELN,BUKRS,ERNAM, ERDAT) columns and the Functional team said that, the report shuld come in print out!
So,
1- How much I need to specify the LINE-SIZE in the report statement, either its 255 or 132 oe else other number to get all data in print out?
2- Next times, How can I build a relationship btween the total characters of the List Header and the number of characters per a Page, to accombidate in the page for printing?
ThanQ.

Hi,
If you want the report to be printable, then lize-size should be less than 132.
See what SAP says about line zise.
LINE-SIZE - Creates a report with col columns per line.
If the LINE-SIZE specification is missing, the line length corresponds to the current screen width. The system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line size for generating lists. The maximum width of a list is 1023 characters. You should keep lists to the minimum possible size to improve useability and performance (recommendation: LINE-SIZE < 132). For very wide lists (LINE-SIZE > 255), you should consult the notes for using LINE-SIZE
greater than 255.
Notes
The specified LINE-SIZE must not appear in quotation marks.
If the you want the report list (i.e. the output) to be printable, do not define a LINE-SIZE with a value greater than 132 because most printers cannot handle wider lists.
You cannot print lists wider than 255 characters at all using the standard print functions. To print the contents of the lists, you need to write a special print routine that arranges the data in shorter lines (for example, using the PRINT ON addition in the NEW-PAGE statement.
Check out this list for more information.

How to increase line-size beyond 255

hi all,
In my classical report , columns after line-size 255 was cut and display in another row , but i want it to continue in a single row beyond 255, i tried and given
line-size 400, But it's not giving the required result. Please help and provide the solution for this problem.
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vivek

Try this -
for writing the fields after 255 characters you have to use WRITE AT statement, instead of WRITE, as WRITE will not work for line-size > 255 chars.

Report Line Size

hi
Due to certain requirements I had to add a new field to the existing report, the report works fine but I had to increase the line size of the window...
This works fine in foreground mode but when the user processes the report in the background mode and then takes the printout he sees that the data is scrambled and the last 2 fields come to the next line
Please let me know what I need to do to now so that the data doesnt overflow to the next line...
Points to every helpful answer as always

Hi!
Try using the standard sizes, they will work in background also.
REPORT myreport LINE-SIZE 80 LINE-COUNT 65.
REPORT myreport LINE-SIZE 120 LINE-COUNT 90. "this is my favourite btw
REPORT myreport LINE-SIZE 255 LINE-COUNT 65.
REPORT myreport LINE-SIZE 132 LINE-COUNT 65.

ALV Report Print problem after 255 character line size

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I have created one alv report where i am getting output more then 255 character line size.
so whenever i tried to print this report it print only line upto first 255 character and truncated after it in printing.
is there any way i can print this report without truncation ....
Thanks,
Jack

no there is no such way because you acan print at most 99 columns and utmost 255 characters .
and alternative is take your filed in separate screen and make it appear through hotspot in another filedcatalog.then u will get more space .

Adding extension "line-size 255" to a standard report on the first line

Hi Experts,
i want to modify the statment from Report ztest1 message-id zm to Report ztest1 message-id zm and line-size 255.
I am going to add the extension line-size 255 to the report statement in a standard report. There are no enhancement points near the first line. I have access key available, so i can make the changes to core mod.
The problem is that if i run the report in background, out of the 8 fields, i only see the first 6 columns in the spool. remaining 2 fields are truncated.
The reason for truncation is bcoz the line-size extension is not given to the report. What procedure do i have to follow to add the extension line-size 255?

HI,
You do not need any enhancement for it.
If you have the access key then just add the additon line-size 255 to the repport statement.

Need to Increase more than LINE-SIZE 255?

Does anybody know what the next larger Line-Size value I can bump this up to on a Std report? Or, doesn't it matter, meaning I can make it whatever I want.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can have the line-size up to 1023 max.
But as Rich suggested there format and all have to be considered if you are not able to take the print nicely.
Cheers!!

Hope this solves u r problem.

Hi ,Maximum line size in the report

What is the maximum line size inthe report.Some are saying 1023.Some are saying 255 characters.I am full confusing this concept.
And if the line size mentiones in less than the length of the data in the write statement ,what happened?
Sometimes it is coming in the next line , sometimes it is coming in the next line
Please anyone provide the solutin

hi,
The line width determines the number of characters in the line buffer as well as the number of columns in the list displayed. The value width must be a positive numeric literal. The maximum line width is 1,023 characters.
When the LINE-SIZE is not specified, the line width of the basic list is set to a standard width based on the window width of the current Dynpro, but is at least as wide as a standard size SAP window. For the standard width, the contents of sy-linsz is 0. The LINE-SIZE overwrites the value of the like-named LINE-SIZE addition to the statement SUBMIT and can be overwritten during list creation with the like-named LINE-SIZE addition to the statement NEW-PAGE.
For screen lists, you should use the standard value since, as a rule, page breaks defaulted through LINE-COUNT are not adjusted to the window size.
You should also use the standard value for print lists, so that you can still select the page size on a printer-specific basis. A print list should be created in such a way so that it can handle every page size.
Specifying a fixed line count is only useful for form-type lists with a fixed page layout. Here, however, you should always check whether such forms can be created by other means, such as SAPScript forms.
when line size is more than your data... your ouput screen will be dragging after all your output display..So bettery ou should use the standard value .

Hi Theja,
From the post mentioned by ravi, i can define the line size upto 1023. and so i did upto 425. but my problem is while printing the report. I also tried ALV and that also doesn't print some data. I guess my best bet right now is to download that internal table to an Excel file.
let me know if there is any other way to fix this.
Re: ABAP Programming to display more than 255 characters in the screen

Line-size line-count.

Hi frnds,
   I need to change the values of line-size and line-count dynamically. If option 1 is selected, then the line size should be 132 and line count 60 . if option 2 is selected then line size should be 60 and line count 90.
   How can i do. Please help me.
   Thanks in advance

Hi pankaj ,
   Thanks for ur reply. It works fine.
But in report statement i had
    Line-count 60(3).
How can i specify here. I can use new-page line-count 90.
But if i specify new-page line-count 90(3). It throughs an error.
How can i specify 3 value in newpage statement.
Please clarify my doubt. Whether the (3) value changes while specifying new-page or only 60 changes to 90 and (3) still remains for 90 line-count too.
Thanks in advance

LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 130.
but that did not work.
Please help me increase the line size.

perform f_report_pass.
*Print repost showing records which were not saved
perform f_report_fail.
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 130.
