Symptom: certain fields in some ALV reports have an incorrect length defined and values are truncated when exporting data. This may be visible on the screen or when publishing the data using the Data Distribution Engine.
Reason: if the ALV report is implemented without using the best-practice programming methods and the ALV field catalog contains no information regarding the field length, the standard SAP code will assume it is a 10-character long character field. All values in these columns will be truncated. This is not a VirtDB bug.
Solution: correct the ABAP report to populate the ALV field catalog with correct metadata (field type, length etc.).
