This is particularly relevant in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) reports, where the formatting of output is crucial for readability and compliance with standards.
  Cause:
  
  
  Output Formatting: The report is trying to display or print data that exceeds the standard width of 132 characters. This can happen if:
  
  The report includes too many columns.

  The layout of the report is not optimized for the output medium (e.g., screen, printer).

  Solution:

  Review the report layout and reduce the number of columns displayed.
  Shorten the field lengths or abbreviate long text fields where possible.

  Use Pagination:
  
  If the report is too wide, consider breaking it into multiple pages or sections to fit within the character limit.
  
  
  
  Change Output Format:

  Modify Custom Reports:
  
  If the report is a custom development, review the ABAP code to ensure that it adheres to the width limitations. You may need to adjust the layout or the way data is fetched and displayed.
