There isn't a corresponding SP that will deliver that functionality. SAP is now very strict about the rules that SPs will only contain bug fixes and legal changes. All new functionality will only be delivered via new releases and enhancement packages. So if you want the Text Wrap in column headers, you must apply Netweaver 7.0 EnhP1. It won't matter what SP level you are on, you won't have the functionality.

Hi Vivek,

Its not possible to wrap the text of a column header. You can only wrap the content of ALV cells. You can even try check these threads which deal with the same issue.

Actually as of NetWeaver 7.0 EnhP1 that is no longer true. We added the option to wrap column headers.

data l_header type ref to cl_salv_wd_column_header.
  l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'CREATED_BY' ).
  l_header = l_column->get_header( ).
  l_header->set_prop_ddic_binding_field(
    property =  if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>bind_prop_text
    value = if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>ddic_bind_none ).
  l_header->set_prop_ddic_binding_field(
    property =  if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>bind_prop_tooltip
    value = if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>ddic_bind_none ).
  l_header->set_tooltip( `1234567890123456789012345678901234567890` ).
  l_header->set_text( `Created By` ).
  l_header->set_header_text_wrapping( abap_true ).
  l_column->set_resizable( abap_true ).

Just keep in mind that you must be on Enhancement Package 1 of NetWeaver for this to work.
