Need more than 255 character to show data in print program

Hi All,
I am using read_text FM. We have 8 lines in itab almost 2000 character.
Now I want to show it in my smartforms. I used concatenate lines of itab into result separated by space.
But here I am getting only 255 character in our result. Can any body help me out to resolve this problem.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi,
No need to use the FM Read_text. use include text instead of text element and pass the required field value combination, then SAP will automatically display it.
Pass the details to
Text Name
Text Object
Text ID
Language

How to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field

HI All
i need to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field. How can i do that ?
thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
You can try the following things:
1. Use a datatype STRING and check it will work.
2. In se11 transaction goto datatype and search for char* in data elements.
You will find predefined data types ,you can make use of it.
For eg. char2000,char3000,char4000 etc.
Hope this will help.

I tried changing the Datatype of the field from text to Memo field in MS ACCESS.But when i insert the data using setString method of the PreparedStatement ,it's giving the following SQL exception:SQLException caught:[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]String data, right truncated (null)
How do i let an user key in more than 255 characters.Can somebody help me on this please ASAP as this is a very crucial issue which i need to solve by tomorrow.

Unable to read more than 255 characters in a string data type.

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports version 11.5.8.826 to generate reports from databases such as MS-Excel & BaaN.
In Excel, there are records which carry string lengths of more than 255 characters. All though the fields are getting displayed in the report, the data being displayed gets truncated once it reaches a length of 255 characters.
Kindly provide me with a solution this problem.
Regards

Hello Manish,
I know that older versions of Crystal (Crystal 10 and older ) had a limitation of only 256 Characters for a string value. You should be able to use this code to get what you need.
We were successfully able to print out the Declaration of Independence through a Crystal report using something very similiar to this.

I like this version better because the array is completely dynamic. It can be as big or as small as it needs to be. There is always room for optimizations. But hopefully this will get you started on the right path.

How to transfer data more than 255 char from excel sheet to internal table.

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i have a text field in the excel sheet of more than 255 char and need to be updated in the text element. To do that i need to transfer the excel sheet data to an internal table where one of the field is more than 255 char.
in the standard function module it works only upto 255 char. Can you help me if we have some other way to get more than 255 char in the internal table from excel sheet.
Thanks in Advance.
BR,
RaJ.

Using .xls, it is not possible transfer data more than 255 characters from excel sheet. However if the excel sheet is saved as Comma Delimited format or Tab Delimited format, then using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module data more than 255 characters can be transferred.
File name should be : .csv (Comma Delimited format) or .txt (Tab Delimited format)
File Type would still remain 'ASC' while calling function module GUI_DOWNLOAD
Also In the internal table declare the field type as String or LCHAR.
Eg:
TYPES: begin of ty_file,
        col_a TYPE string,
      end of ty_file.
DATA: i_file type standard table
               of ty_file
             with header line
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    FILENAME                      = 'C:\test.csv'
TABLES
    DATA_TAB                      = i_file

More than 255 characters need to be populated in text file of destination.

Dear experts,
i am having following scenario in which i am sending the file to a destination system through RFC connection which is having more than 255 characters, But it is not allowing me to enter more than 255
The code i have written is mentioned below,
lv_string = '///++++#####$$&&^%$%@$$@@(&@&@#%@&%#464(@)))(@&@&&@*&@)@(&@@%&%&@&@*@&@&&*@&*****^&&*&%$%$$#$##@#$@%%&&*******(((((((((((((((&!@#$$%%%&&(()))_(**&&&&&^^^^%%%%$$$$###'.
itab-l_string = lv_string.
CONCATENATE itab-l_string itab-l_string itab-l_string into itab-l_string.
CONDENSE itab-l_string.
Append Itab.
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_FILE'
    DESTINATION 'BJRFC'
    EXPORTING
    FILE = 'D:\tmp\test_ster3.txt'
    WRITE = 'X'
*FILETYPE = ''
    TABLES
    FILEDATA = itab
    exceptions
    system_failure = 1 message dg_ermsg
    communication_failure = 2 message dg_ermsg.
Can anybody suggest me how to fetch the requireoutput.

Dear alex,
With this output the the following cases appearing in system,
1) rfc connection is getting failed due to excess length, no file generated
2)Some times o/p file getting generated with 0KB, i mean there is no data in the output.

lv_string = 'I am having following scenario in which i am sending the file to a destination system through RFC connection which is having more than 255 characters, But it is not allowing to enter more than 255 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXFFAFFAGAGAGAGAGG'.
CONCATENATE lv_string lv_string lv_string into lv_string.
CONDENSE lv_string.
*while strlen( lv_string ) > 255.
    itab-l_string = lv_string+0(255).

The CSV file on the application server not showing more than 255 characters

Hi All,
We are using SAP 4.6C & the CSV file getting created on the application server has more than 255 characters, all the characters beyond 255 are getting truncated, even while downloading the file the same no. of characters are coming in the file.
Can any one please let me know how can we overcome the problem in SAP 4.6C?

Hi Buddy,
You can't display morethan 255 Char. If you see the fun mod you will see the the limit,I also faced the same problem. Probably you start checking by adding fields one by one or you have to reduce the length of some fields in order to display the full data in CSV.
Thanks,
Krishna...

More than 255 characters in background

HI,
My report width is 275 which is displaying when run in front ground. but when run in background it truncates after the 255 characters.
We have created a format using 'SPAD' of width 300, area is showing but the data is not showing after 255.
I have mention line-size 275 in report, i tried this without mentioning line-size but the result is same. it gets truncates after 255, empty area is showing after 255 if we use width 300 format...
Thanks

Hi,
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 following program .
Hope it work fine.
Rewards points if useful.

Row chaining in table with more than 255 columns

Hi,
I have a table with 1000 columns.
I saw the following citation: "Any table with more then 255 columns will have chained
rows (we break really wide tables up)."
If I insert a row populated with only the first 3 columns (the others are null), is a row chaining occurred?
I tried to insert a row described above and no row chaining occurred.
As I understand, a row chaining occurs in a table with 1000 columns only when the populated data increases
the block size OR when more than 255 columns are populated. Am I right?
Thanks

dyahavYesterday, I stated this on the forum "Tables with more than 255 columns will always have chained rows." My statement needs clarification. It was based on the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/schema.htm#i4383
"Oracle Database can only store 255 columns in a row piece. Thus, if you insert a row into a table that has 1000 columns, then the database creates 4 row pieces, typically chained over multiple blocks."
And this paraphrase from "Practical Oracle 8i":
V$SYSSTAT will show increasing values for CONTINUED ROW FETCH as table rows are read for tables containing more than 255 columns.
Related information may also be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/c11schem.htm
"When a table has more than 255 columns, rows that have data after the 255th column are likely to be chained within the same block. This is called intra-block chaining. A chained row's pieces are chained together using the rowids of the pieces. With intra-block chaining, users receive all the data in the same block. If the row fits in the block, users do not see an effect in I/O performance, because no extra I/O operation is required to retrieve the rest of the row."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14340_01/data.htm
"For a table with several columns, the key question to consider is the (average) row length, not the number of columns. Having more than 255 columns in a table built with a smaller block size typically results in intrablock chaining.
Oracle stores multiple row pieces in the same block, but the overhead to maintain the column information is minimal as long as all row pieces fit in a single data block. If the rows don't fit in a single data block, you may consider using a larger database block size (or use multiple block sizes in the same database). "
Why not a test case?
Create a test table named T4 with 1000 columns.
With the table created, insert 1,000 rows into the table, populating the first 257 columns each with a random 3 byte string which should result in an average row length of about 771 bytes.

Paraphrase misspelled the view name "V$SYSSTAT", corrected a couple minor typos, and changed "will" to "may" in the closing paragraph as this appears to be the behavior based on the test case.

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.

How can i see the URL which has length more than 255 chars in fucnction

Hello Every body....
I am facing one problem....I have a function module which returns URL in one table
but in the function module display i am able to see only 255 characters,but the URL is more than 255 Characters..How can i see the URL which has the length more than 255 characters..
In the Table the fields url length is 4000 chars.....
but display it is showing only 255 chars.....
Please Help me...??????????

Hello,
Have you tried breaking your structure into 255 chunks? I don't know what the structure you are moving from looks like, but you should be able break it back up into the SOLI structure. The end of a line in SOLI doesn't create a Carriage Return/Line Break. You have to insert these yourself like in the following:
* Create document
      clear mail_line.
      move 'This is a test E-Mail'(d01) to mail_line.
      concatenate mail_line
                  cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
                  into mail_line.
      append mail_line to l_mailtext.
What kind of attachment are you wanting to create - a text tab delimited file for reading in a spreadsheet application such as excel? You might try reassembling your data table into a single string with newlines where you need them. Then use function module SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT to turn it back into SOLI. This is what I have done in the past. I'm afraid without knowing more about your source structure and attachment type, this is about all I can tell you.

Spool output more than 255 characters

Hi ,
i am running a ALV report in background whose output is more than 255 characters . but spool is showing only 255 charcters.
Do we have any setting to change to display all characters.
Or any OSS notes that can be applied.
Thanks & regards,
Sonika Ahuja

Hi,
You need to change the Format Type through SPAD transaction. The Format Type decides the number of rows and columns per page. By creating a new format type as per your requirement would solve the probelm.
Also, in the Report declaration, change the Line-Size to 300 or as per the width of your output.
For further details pls. refer this thread :
Re: Spool List output display > 255 char when the rpt is run in Background
Best regards,
Prashant

Need more than 255 character to show data in print program
