Hi,

what is the best way to get a large string into an ALV Grid cell?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try giving the <b>fieldcat-outputlen </b> more(the length which you want).

The length of a string is dynamic, so that will not work.

maximum string can hold 255 i guess,so try to give 255.

Hi,

I suggest that you place a button on the column, and when clicked show a TEXT editor (CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT) in a DOCKING container with the text that you want.

Even if you use the full length of 255 for a column, for the user to see other columns, he has to scroll left / right.

Hello Ravi,

can you explain how to use the text editor in a docking container?

I have the same problem to display large strings in several cells.

My idea was, if the user click on a cell, some kind of new modal window opens and will show the text. Like the detail view in ALV.

Hi,

Maximum length that ALV is going to display will be 128 characters not more than that.

Just check out any table with a field more than 128 characters in SE16 ( view : using ALV grid), you can clearly see that it will display only 128 characters.

It is better to use a container which can show a text editor.
