LIST_TO_ASCI

[former_member217316]

Hi

In a FM code, I am SUBMIT a report with a VARIANT. I pass it to the memory using the FM: LIST_FROM_MEMORY. I get it back into the internal table using the FM: LIST_TO_ASCI.

Now my problem is that I am not getting the last 5-6 columns of the report due to the restriction on the table ASCII_TAB-LINE with only 255 characters.

Now I am not sure if the SUBMIT is passing those restricted no of columns or the problem is happening during the internal table download.

How should I get all my columns in the report.

Thanks in advance.

How do you declare your internal table? Probably it's defined incorrectly -> Increase the number of characters of its line type to more than 255 characters.

[former_member217316]

I did that. But still it is showing the same no of columns.

Is that that while I have SUBMIT the program, it exports only 255 characters? Not sure if you understood this one.

I did a test. ABAP 7.31. No issue.

ENDFORM."

Not sure what am I doing incorrect.

Did you first make sure that ZLOCKBOX alone returns lines longer than 255? (which value did you set for line-size?)

Check whether my sample code works on your system; if it doesn't; then there's probably a corrective note, or you should ask SAP support.

[former_member217316]

Even your code is not working in my system.

[NTeunckens]

Does the Selection-Screen Variant also have an Output-Variant (Layout)? That might be an issue there ...?
Does the report output make use of ALV? If so, what is the result when you SUBMIT the report using "CL_SALV_BS_RUNTIME_INFO"-methods ...

cl_salv_bs_runtime_info=>set(
    EXPORTING display  = abap_false
              metadata = abap_false
              data     = abap_true ).

I created a variant in the standard program(with less fields so i can get fields i want) and passed in submit statement instead of passing parameters.
