There is no limit for the number of Maximum columns.

Once you assign the layout, all the fields are reflected in the ALV Grid.

Hi,

There is no limit for number columns in ALV. If it is truncating the last columns other solution would be you can display those columns in second row.

I don't <b>think</b> the problem is that you have to many columns in your alv grid. I think the problem is that your source code lines are too long.

Depending on what vesrion of sap you are using and what version of the editor you are using, the maximum line length can be altered in the settings screen of your sapgui (tools/settings/editor menu) or the settings screen in your editor (click the icon in the lower right).

The error you are getting is nothing to do with the number of columns in the ALV.

There is a bug in the ALV functions in that they read through your program source code to get some details, and only allow 72 characters per line - the old style ABAP editor width.

You will get this error if you have a single line in the program longer than 72 characters - even comment lines. Simply split or shorten lines to remove this error.

ALV has a max output width which allows a few hundred columns - I think its something like 1023 characters.

Hi,

According to the AL Field catalog definition the filed used for the column number is of SYCUCOL component type definition which has the data type of INT4 which has a length of 10 integers. So the allowed field should be 9999999999. But in reality I have never seen a ALV that exceeds 100s of column as ALV comsumes memory.

Also I don't think it is a problem with the no. of columns. It is a problem with the data that needs to be displayed.

Hope it helps. Reward points if helpful.
