ALV report itself is a nice tool that allow developers to quickly come out with a nice report that does not require much of programming to build columns, pump in data, sort it, or providing it a few icons or additional instructions. Allowing you to focus on processing data only. Unfortunately, ALV report itself presents a few problems or limitations that somehow hampers our requirements when it comes to large and long report that user wants.
OSS Notes : 857823
Detailing that cells with CHAR or STRING type are truncated after 128. This affects ALV Grid function control and some other SAPGUI display. This is a standard behavior.

Next, this notes detailing (UNICODE) that it is also a program limitation for ALV Grid that truncates text. The only solution is to modify the program to only take in a maximum of 42 character for a cell.
OSS Notes : 959775
Also, ALV GRID column of text based cells are truncated or replace '...' so to display that there are more text after that position. This is considered by SAP as an error. You might include the layout method optimize_colwidth = 'X' but it is not the solution but applying SAP Patch.
