field length in alv

[Former Member]

hi,

if we increase the length of field using <b>outputlen</b> with fieldcatalog.

if i do it that length is applicable for data as well as for text.......

example:

balance(17).

but with this balance field i want to display amount more than 17 characters....

is it possible with ouputlen option of fieldcatalog........

Yes,

You can do it with the OUTPUTLEN.

FCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 25.

Hi Maahi,

OUTPUTLEN just increase the display length. You can not display amount more than 17 characters as the varibale itself can't store that.

how to solve this problem........

i have to display more than 17 characters.........

is there any solution to handle this suitation...

Increase the length of the variable itself. It is just simple if the variable is defined to store only 17 characters how can it will store 18 character value. The only way is change the variable defination.

move that field to some bigger variable. and display that bigger variable.

Say,

data: amt(32) type p decimals 2.

than

itab-amt = itab-balance.
modify Itab

Dispaly itab-AMT instead of the itab-BALANCE.

For that BALANCE you need to set the OUTPUTLEN = 25.
