ALV Column width

[Former Member]

Hi,

how to set column width in ALV to 10 exactly 10 characters. I know that there is method in cl_salv_wd_column->set_width. What shall I pass in order to get width for 10 characters.

thanks & regards,

Hi Adam,

This is possible:

" create an instance of ALV component

DATA: LR_IF_CONTROLLER TYPE REF TO IWCI_SALV_WD_TABLE,

LR_CMP_USAGE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE,

LR_CMDL TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE,

LR_TABLE_SETTING TYPE REF TO IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_SETTINGS.

LR_CMP_USAGE = WD_THIS->WD_CPUSE_ALV( ).

IF LR_CMP_USAGE->HAS_ACTIVE_COMPONENT( ) IS INITIAL.

LR_CMP_USAGE->CREATE_COMPONENT( ).

ENDIF.

" get reference to the ALV model

LR_IF_CONTROLLER = WD_THIS->WD_CPIFC_ALV( ).

LR_CMDL = LR_IF_CONTROLLER->GET_MODEL( ).

LR_TABLE_SETTING ?= LR_CMDL.

" Set column width

DATA LR_COL TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN.

LR_COL = LR_CMDL->IF_SALV_WD_COLUMN_SETTINGS~GET_COLUMN( 'PERNR' ).

LR_COL->SET_WIDTH( '70' ) .

LR_COL = LR_CMDL->IF_SALV_WD_COLUMN_SETTINGS~GET_COLUMN( 'ENAME' ).

LR_COL->SET_WIDTH( '100' ) .

LR_TABLE_SETTING->SET_FIXED_TABLE_LAYOUT( ABAP_TRUE ).

You can refer to webdynpro component SALV_WD_TEST_TABLE_PROPS. Go to the view TABLE and look inside the method SET_COLUMN_SETTINGS. I hope this will help you.

Hi Adam,

You can easily increase the width of the ALV output and columns by specifying the required width. However, to reduce the size, you firstly have to fix the layout of the ALV output. This assigns the same width to all columns. You can then specify the required column width.

For details refer to the below link:

Hi Guarav,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried this:

lr_column->set_width( '10' ).

It doesn't work. When I call lr_column->set_width( '60' ) it gives me 10 characters width.

I presume that it might be pixels.
