Problem printing more than 255 characters in report output and in the spool

Hi Guys,
I am trying to print one file in the report output and in the spool but it's priting till 255 characters only. If I try the samething while writing in application server and in peresentation server it is printing full content. I am giving the line size in the REPORT statement as more than 255 like 300 but even it is not printing. How can i print the full contents. Whether it is any basis related issue or in any settings can we do that. please advice.
Thanks in advance.

If it is not showing in Spool, Basis people has to do some setting in SPAD Transaction.

This is how i get the text with format (line feeds).
zz_description is type string.
My table is on a page, wrapped in a subform. and zz_description is type text field.
Yes, i maintained "allow multiple lines" and did not limit length somehow.
The problem arises in portal, pressing the preview button of a zform. providing a string <255 characters of length, everything works fine.

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.

More than 255 characters required in excel send as attachment in mail.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to send displayed list in an ALV report as attachment in excel through mail. I have used FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. Now the problem is my excel data in more than 255 characters in a line. It is about 400 characters.But it is taking upto 255 characters in the internal table which is passed to parameter contents_bin . This is because the internal table is of type SOLISTI1. But the excel should hold atleast 400 characters as per my requirement. How to overcome this issue ? Please suggest me...
Regards,
SURYA

Say your records are exactly 400 length (I am saying 400 for sake of simplifying things, in reality record lengths can be variable and have to be calculated using STRLEN)
You will cut the first record at 255 length and put it in first row. You will put next 145 characters in 2nd row, followed by newline characters (hex 0D and 0A) at positions 146 & 147 (which indicates end of record for excel, so that it puts next record in a new excel row).
The second record will start from 148th character in second row till 255, that is 108 characters and will extend into 3rd row till 400 - 108 = 292th character followed by newline characters (hex 0D and 0A) at postions 293 & 294, followed by contents of 3rd record and so on and so forth.
If you records are of variable length you can also think of always blank padding them to create a record of such a fixed length that always your records are lesser than that and fit into it. This will leave some blank spaces at the end of each record in excel, which may be fine.

Excel 2007 to Sql server table. Column with more than 255 characters.

Hi there,
I am facing a problem while converting data from Excel 2007 to SQL server 2005 table. I am using BIDS 2005.I have an excel file where one particular column has more than 255 characters. I use OLEDB connection for excel file as there is no driver for Excel
2007 in BIDS2005. I am using Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider for Excel file.
Next, I changed advanced properties for the column to DT_NTEXT. But when I am getting errors on execution. They are:
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "action".

Please advise on how can I deal with columns having more than 255 characters in Excel file.

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

More than 255 characters in a table text field

Dear experts,
i am facing a problem (in WD Alv too) that i can not display more than 255 characters in a single text field.
I want to display a table containing a description field without a limitation of its length. As soon as providing a (formatted) string longer than 255 characters of length, no interactive form is shown on screen.
Debugging a while, the following error message occurs;
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: XMLFM Exception - PDF render operation exception, reason code: 0 : InvalidXDPException: Xml parsing error: reference to invalid character number (error code 14) ...
Does anybody have similar problems to mine?
Did anyone resolve the issue to show more than 255 characters in a table in interactive form?
Regards,
Florian Royer

ABAP Programming to display more than 255 characters in the screen

Hi
I want to display more than 255 characters in the screen after executing a report but i cant able to do that.
Please help me to find out the solution.
Thanks
Mrutyunjaya Trpathy

Hai tripathy,
when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain upto 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;
1.REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
2.REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
3.REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
4.REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
5.REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
6.REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
7.REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
8.REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
9.REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT
hope u can try in this way.

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.

ALV Cell with more than 255 characters.

Hello Guru's,
I need to display a longtext in ALV with other details. I am using READ_TEXT to get the Longtext and appending it to Internal table field, which i have defined as a string. I have debugged the code and it is containing around 450 characters. But, when i am trying to display using "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" it is only displaying 255 characters.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.

How to send text file as an email attachment havin more than 255 characters

My requirement is to generate a text file and to send this text file as E-mail attachment. I am using FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to send the E-mail. but here the limitation is the number of characters per line must not be more than 255 characters whereas in my case it is exceeding 1000 characters per line. could anyone please suggest me what should i do now ? Each field in the text file has to be tab delimited.

Simplest might well be to use javamail API instead of the two tags that Sites provides, e.g. see email - Sending mail attachment using Java - Stack Overflow for a full example.

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.
