Hi,
what rich said is correct
this might help you.
LINE-SIZE col
Effect
Formats the new page with the number of columns specified in col, except in the case of LINE-SIZE = 0 which indicates line length set by the system according to the standard window width.
The addition ... LINE-SIZE col is only effective on the new page if it is also the first page of a new list level.
Note
The addition works only before initialization of the new list level (with WRITE, SKIP, ...).
For the default setting use the addition ... LINE-SIZE in the REPORT statement.
The maximum line length is 1023. You should keep list width to the miniumum possible. This improves useability and performance, and makes the list easier to print (recommendation: LINE-SIZE < 132). For very wide (LINE-SIZE > 255) lists, see the notes for using LINE-SIZE greater than 255.
<b>Using Values Greater than 255 for the LINE-SIZE of a List</b>
If you use a column with greater than 255 as the LINE-SIZE in the REPORT or NEW-PAGE statement, the following notes apply:
Type definitions: The type group SLIST defines the valid maximum value for the list width (SLIST_MAX_LINESIZE), and contains a type for list lines with maximum type (SLIST_MAX_LISTLINE).
Printing: You cannot print the list using standard printing functions. To print it, you must create a special print routine that arranges the data in shorter lines (for example, using the ... PRINT ON addition in the NEW-PAGE) statement.
Accessing the entire contents of a line:: To read or modify the entire contents of a wide line, you can use the ... LINE VALUE addition in the READ LINE or MODIFY LINE statements. This is an alternative to using SY-LISEL that is independent of the attributes of the system field (since the length of SY-LISEL is 255 characters).
Hroizontal lines: With extra-wide lists, the "ULINE." statement corresponds to "WRITE / SY-ULINE.". So, for example, "ULINE AT 5(300)." corresponds to "WRITE AT 5(300) SY-ULINE.".
Output length:: You can use the length specification in WRITE (or ULINE) to extend the output length of an extra-wide list up to the value of LINE-SIZE. If you want to output a whole field that is longer than 255 characters, you must use this, even if the field itself is defined as longer than 255 characters.
Example
NEW-PAGE LINE-SIZE 1000.
DATA: F1(500) VALUE 'F1'.
WRITE: / F1 COLOR COL_NORMAL. " Output with length 255
WRITE: /(500) F1 COLOR COL_NORMAL. " Output with length 500

REPORT
Basic form
REPORT rep.
Additions:
1. ... NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING
2. ... LINE-SIZE col
3. ... LINE-COUNT (m)
4. ... MESSAGE-ID mid
5. ... DEFINING DATABASE ldb
Effect
REPORT is the first statement in a program. rep can be any name, but you are recommended to use the name of the ABAP program.
Example
REPORT ZREPNAME.
Note
Only standard SAP reports should begin with 'R'.
Addition 1
... NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING
Effect
Suppresses output of the standard page header (see NEW-PAGE).
Addition 2
... LINE-SIZE col
Effect
Creates a report with col columns per line.
If the LINE-SIZE specification is missing, the line length corresponds to the current screen width. The system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line size for generating lists. The maximum width of a list is 1023 characters. You should keep lists to the minimum possible size to improve useability and performance (recommendation: LINE-SIZE < 132). For very wide lists (LINE-SIZE > 255), you should consult the notes for using LINE-SIZE
greater than 255.
Notes
The specified LINE-SIZE must not appear in quotation marks.
If the you want the report list (i.e. the output) to be printable, do not define a LINE-SIZE with a value greater than 132 because most printers cannot handle wider lists. You cannot print lists wider than 255 characters at all using the standard print functions. To print the contents of the lists, you need to write a special print routine that arranges the data in shorter lines (for example, using the PRINT ON addition in the NEW-PAGE statement.
At the beginning of a new list level, you can set a fixed line width for the level using the ... LINE SIZE addition to the NEW-PAGE statement.
Example
REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-SIZE 132.
Addition 3
... LINE-COUNT n(m)
Effect
Creates a report list with n lines per page, of which m lines are reserved for the END-OF-PAGE processing. If you omit the "(m)", the default value 0 applies. The system field SY-LINCT contains the current number of lines per page for generating lists.
If the LINE-COUNT specification is missing, the number of lines per page is calculated dynamically from the number of lines actually output on this page. Here, a page break no longer occurs automatically, (internal limit: 60,000 lines) but must be specified explicitly with NEW-PAGE, and the system field SY-LINCT is set to 0. (NEW-PAGE ... LINE-COUNT)
Note
The LINE-COUNT must not be enclosed in quotation marks.
Further information about using LINE-COUNT.
Examples
REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-COUNT 65.
The page has 65 lines.
REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-COUNT 65(8).
The page has 65 lines, of which the last 8 are only used by END-OF-PAGE.
Addition 4
... MESSAGE-ID mid
Effect
This addition specifies the standard message class for the main program. This contains the messages used with the simple MESSAGE statement.
Note
This message class must not be enclosed in quotation marks.
You can use a namespace prefix with message class names.
Example
REPORT RSTEST00 MESSAGE-ID SY.
Addition 5
... DEFINING DATABASE ldb
Effect
All the database programs must specify in the REPORT statement the 20-character name of the logical database to which they belong.
This addition is generated automatically (in the REPORT statement) when you create a logical database by choosing Utilities -> Development/test -> Logical databases.
Note
You can use a namespace prefix with logical database names.
Example
REPORT SAPDBKDF DEFINING DATABASE KDF.
