Hi,

U can better optimize the width.it will be good.

data : W_LAYOUT TYPE SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV.

W_LAYOUT-COLWIDTH_OPTIMIZE = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

EXPORTING

I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = SY-REPID

I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'T_ALV'

IS_LAYOUT = W_LAYOUT

IT_FIELDCAT = T_FIELDCAT_ALV

I_CALLBACK_TOP_OF_PAGE = 'ALV_TOP_OF_PAGE'

TABLES

T_OUTTAB = T_ALV

EXCEPTIONS

PROGRAM_ERROR = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Populate field catalog with

Key = 'X' and outputlen = 10.

data: ls_fieldcat type slis_fieldcat_alv.

*

clear ls_fieldcat.

ls_fieldcat-fieldname = 'XXXXX'. << Your field name

ls_fieldcat-fieldname = 'YYYY'. << Your internal table name

ls_fieldcat-key = 'X'.

ls_fieldcat-outputlen = 10 .

append ls_fieldcat to e01_lt_fieldcat.

Pass the field catalog table to ALV FM.

Regards,

JOy.
