SAP Note 910300 - GridView:Truncation of text in Unicode systems.

Component : SAP GUI for Windows Controls - SAP List Viewer

Summary :
ALV Grid displays in SAP may truncate text when it exceeds 128 bytes, significant on Unicode systems (UTF-8). A single character can consume up to 3 bytes, thus reducing the visible limit to approximately 42 characters if consisting solely of three-byte characters. This truncation is linked to ALV Grid's internal handling rather than SAPGui limitations. The included solution highlights adapting ALV Grid applications to limit text lengths to 42 characters under Unicode systems, ensuring data coherence without compromising system integrity. For further specifics on characters, refer to the Unicode organization's site.
