Display more than or equal to 255 characters in sap alv grid display reduces to 1 character display

Hello Experts,

Is it possible to display 255 characters column in ALV grid display, if yes how can we achieve that.

I had added long text to an existing report, I had added a new field of type char 255 and in the final output table when I checked in debugging its having values of 255 characters. But when its displaying its reduced to 1 character and displays as 1. Not sure why this behaviour.

Thanks,

Balu
