Did you mean: 

variable update using string concatenation itself. Is this a bug ?

As in the screenshot, at line 5, it gives me the expected output,

but I was expecting the same at line 6. Why iv_text updates itself in mid way of right expressing. In my opinion, it should evaluate the right expression completely and then update the variable itself.

replace this line

data(lv_text) = `Z_CLAIM_500_EMAIL`

' --> Char

`--> string

anurag.gupta.home24 When you write this inline declaration:

data(lv_text) = 'Z_CLAIM_500_EMAIL'.

the ABAP compiler declares LV_TEXT as a variable of type C and length 17 (because there are 17 characters in the right-hand side).

It means that LV_TEXT can never have more than 17 characters at runtime, any longer text assigned to it will be truncated.

Solution: do as Frederic said.
