1) 1024 characters.

U can find these from the system variables SY-LINSZ ( List width ),, SY-LINCT ( List Hieght ) for a particular report ...

U can overwrite these in the REPORT statement using

REPORT ZSAMPLE LINE-SIZE 255 LINE-COUNT 30.

go through this link..

2) Same is the case with ALV reports..
