You can influence how text is displayed in individual areas of the ALV output as follows:

  • Horizontal alignment within a column

  • Horizontal alignment within a cell variant

  • Font size and style in a cell

    This function is only available in the cell editor TEXT_VIEW. Here, you can choose the pre-configured formatting that you want to use (see Design in TextView Properties).

    You can also set the reading direction here.

  • Line break in a cell

    This function is only available in the cell editors TEXT_VIEW, LINK_TO_ACTION and LINK_TO_URL. If the text contains characters that permit a line break (such as spaces and hyphens), the text can be distributed across multiple lines.

    For more information about how to permit line breaks in column headers, see Column Header.

  • Font color in a cell (see Color of ALV Output, Columns, and Cells)

  • Alignment, font size, and font style in a design object for the header or footer area (see Design Object Settings)
