Hi Experts,

Any one can help on this.

Read first online help on SELECT-OPTIONS (look for conversion routine between dynpro and interna table, so truncated values)

What's your version?

REPORT.
TYPES c255 TYPE c LENGTH 255.
DATA c255 TYPE c255.
PARAMETERS string1 TYPE c255 LOWER CASE.
SELECT-OPTIONS string2 FOR c255 LOWER CASE.

No issue on my ABAP 7.31 system:

if I enter in STRING2 : "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

then I get STRING2-LOW = "Lorem ipsum...irure dolor i" i.e. it's 255 characters long.
