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

Symptom

Truncation of text in ALV Grid on unicode systems.
This is a limitation of ALV Grid.

Description:
Text in some ALV Grid cells appears incomplete or truncated.
This can occur is scenarios where the text of a cell exceeds 128 bytes in SAPGui(see also note 857823).

For unicode systems(UTF-8 encoding) a character can take upto 3 bytes in some cases. The majority of characters (e.g. in Latin or Japanese) use the same amount of bytes (one or two bytes) in Multi-Byte as well as Unicode.In very rare cases the whole text of a cell could consist only of such characters that use 3 bytes. So in such cells the number of characters is restricted to 42 (128 bytes divided by 3).

The list of characters that use three bytes in UTF-8 can be found at the web page of the Unicode organization (http://www.unicode.org).
