Need to display Long Text as field Name in ALV

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using an ALV Grid Display. Even though i have kept the output field length to be 30 char, the Column header that is being selected is the short name. I would like the Column header to display the long name.

For example: Field "MAKTX"

l_seltext_l = "Description"

L_seltext_s = "Descr"

I want to display "Description" as the field name but it is displaying the short length even though the field is 30 characters wide.

Please help.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try in table is_layout: colwidth_optimize = 'X' or expand_all = 'X'. I think the first one is the best option.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Please expand the width of you column and bigger heading will come in automatically.

After that you can save that as the default layout so that it stays there

Hi,

along with <b>fieldcat-SELTEXT_L = 'long text'.</b>

try to pass this also..

<b>fieldcat-DDICTXT = 'L'.</b>

so this will allow only long text.
