Summary :
In SAP up to Release 4.6C, there is an issue with processing lists over 255 characters using the SAPWIN/SWIN device type. SAP Note 1079665 which applies from Release 6.20 addresses similar issues. The resolution includes applying updates per Note 313566 which introduces improved printing formats (X_65_512/2, X_65_1024/4) in Release 4.6D and higher. For earlier releases or missed updates in Basis Releases 6.10 and 6.20, importing the ZSWIN device type is recommended.
