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

Smartform - Field not outputting more than 255 characters in a loop - Help!

Hi,
I have the following problem with my Smartform:
I am looping from a table and into a structure (Loop function).
1 of those fields is 1000 characters long and will be filled usually at 500 characters inside.
However, when looping and outputting the field (text node) in the format &Tablename-Fieldname&, only up to 255 characters are output.
To give you a better idea - I have a Loop Node and there, I am looping from a table (type table of) into a header
(type).
Using LCHR does not help.
Why does this happen? How can I fix this? Are any symbols available in Smartforms, like they are in SAPscript?
Any possible solutions will help.
Please help this is very important and very urgent.
Best Regards,
John

Hi,
if you want to output a long string in a smartform putting it as &name& in a text will not help you. For printing such an information you use temp include texts you create an delete on the fly while processing the SF.
To Do so:
- define GV_SUFFIX type char2, GS_HEAD a structure with fields TDOBJECT type TDOBJECT, TDNAME type TDOBNAME, TDID type TDID, TDSPRAS type SPRAS
- define a code step importing the text, the language and the GV_SUFFIX, in the coding , you convert the string to itf and than use function module SAVE_TEXT to save the include text and put the information into GS_HEAD
- define an include text where you put out the newly created include text
- define a code step to delete the temporary text with function module DELETE_TEXT

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.

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".
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: There was an error with output column "action" (2046) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (1959). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "output column "action" (2046)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "action"
(2046)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
Please advise on how can I deal with columns having more than 255 characters in Excel file.
Thanks!

Here is what your connection string should look like for excel source
Provider
=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=c:\temp\test.xls;Extended

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.

Report output more than 255

Hi,
I want to print my report more than 255 characters..
i was taken line size more than 255 but it gives error.
Please give me the appropriate answer.

hI..
THIS FROM SAP HELP.
REPORT <rep> LINE-SIZE <width>.
This statement determines the width of the output list of program <rep> as <width> characters. If you set <width> to zero, the system uses the width of the standard list.
The maximum line width is 1,023 characters.
A line can be up to 255 characters long. However, if you intend to print the list, note that most printers cannot print lists wider than 132 characters. If you want to print the list directly while creating it, the page width must comply with one of the existing print formats. Otherwise, the system will not print the list (see Print Parameters). Make sure not to choose a list width exceeding 132 characters, unless you create the list for display only.
While creating the list, the system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line width. To adapt the list width to the current window width, see Lists with Several Pages.

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.

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,

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.

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.
