ALV output display problem

[Former Member]

Hi all,I have an ALV report in which there is a field with the length 255 char,while displaying I want it to be not more than 40 char,how can I achieve it? I tried changing the size in fieldcatalog,but it hasen't worked.

Thanks in advance and remember,all helpful answers will get points.

Is it possible that you extract the first 40 char and then put it into field catalog? i.e. text+0(40)?

Hi,

Can you check the fieldcatalog again. Can you show the sample code.

Thanks & Regards,

if you use these options , it automatically controls the length to 40 chars.

fieldcat-ddic_outputlen = 40.
fieldcat-intlen = 40.

try to set these two and see how it works.

Thanks all 4 u r replies but as I said already I checked it by keeping a break point inside the code,what I did exactly is I used FM merge and then Iam looping the fieldcatalog and modifiying the fieldcatalog internal table at that field as :

fieldcat-ddic_outputlen = 40.

fieldcat-intlen = 40.

Please tell me any other solution.

if you are using the merge function then you have to loop and modify the fieldcatalog for the column which you want.

Hi,

Try this code

sfld-tabname = 'I_FINAL'. [Internal Table Name]

sfld-fieldname = 'HZUON'. [Field Name]

sfld-seltext_l = 'Rate%'. [Text]

sfld-outputlen = '10'. [Length specify 40 here]

APPEND to fieldcatalog internal.

Thanks

fieldcatalog-outputlen = 10.

fieldcatalog-emphasize = 'X'.

fieldcatalog-key = 'X'.

append fieldcatalog to fieldcatalog.

clear fieldcatalog.
