How to change table length in tabulary without changing the option in tabulary brackets
\begin{tabulary}{length}
...
\end{tabulary}
I used 24 cm (landscape environment), points etc., but it doesn't work, so is there other way to do this? Like leaving length {} empty and adding sth in preamble, maybe changing .sty?
tabulary is great table generator environment (it makes your table great), so I'd rather stick with it than changing to tabular which sucks in every aspect.
Why do you think there would be a default? It is a latex mandatory argument in {..} if it had a default value the manual would have mentioned it and the length argument would be in [...].
Perhaps you are looking for
\begin{tabulary}{\linewidth}{LLL}
a&b&c
\end{tabular}
so that it makes a full width table to whatever is the current width at that point, but it is hard to be sure as the question is rather vague (I don't understand the reference to landscape at all)

1@TorbjørnT. er yes and some table data and and
\end{tabulary}:-) I was just suggesting what the OP should have instead of the\begin{tabulary}{length}in the question – David Carlisle Mar 21 '17 at 20:45 -
Well, yes. I guess my comment was made partly because the OP does have (a placeholder for) table data and
\end{tabulary}, but no table preamble. Could just be a mistake of course, but it would explain why it "doesn't work", if the code was actually like that. Anyways, some clarifications by the OP is still in order. – Torbjørn T. Mar 21 '17 at 20:59 -
@TorbjørnT. I'll add something, it will save someone copy-pasteing broken code in future years – David Carlisle Mar 21 '17 at 21:29

2@devloon you mean vertical and horizontal at same time? No (and never use scaling on tables!) – David Carlisle Mar 21 '17 at 21:42
tabulary. The width has to be set in the first argument of the environment. Instead of setting a numeric width (say,24cm), consider using something like\textwidth(or\textheightif inside asidewaystableenvironment). – Mico Mar 21 '17 at 20:35
