Hi in this case you need to specify the value of outputlen in this way

wa_fcat-fieldname = 'Name of Your Field'.
wa_fcat-tabname = 'Table Name'.
wa_fcat-ref_fieldname = 'Reference Field Name'.
wa_fcat-ref_tabname = 'Reference Table Name'.
wa_fcat-outputlen = '55'. " Give your length
wa_fcat-seltext_l = 'Text---'.
wa_fcat-seltext_m = 'Text---'.
wa_fcat-seltext_s = 'Text---'.
wa_fcat-ddictxt = 'Text---'.
APPEND wa_fcat TO p_i_fieldcat.
CLEAR wa_fcat.

This will fix the problem
