Urgent! fields of a table to be separated with space n comma

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a table in which the entries have to be separated by a comma n space.

I have put the entries within an internal table.

I used the concatenate to do this but its getting overwritten.

Eg.I have atable with the field as name.

The entries for this field r say aaa bbb ccc ddd.

I have put these into an internal table itab.

The required output is aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd

For this I coded as

loop at itab.

concatenate itab-name ' ,' into answer separated by space.

endloop.

answer is a string which gets overwritten with one entry.Finally answer is having only ddd.

Please help me ASAP with the exact procedure and syntax.

Thankyou

END OF ITAB.

itab-name = 'aaa'.

append itab.

itab-name = 'bbb'.

append itab.

itab-name = 'ccc'.

append itab.

itab-name = 'ddd'.

append itab.

loop at itab.

data: ch(2) type c value ','.

loop at itab.

concatenate answer itab-name into answer separated by ch.

endloop.

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

data: var (500).

read table itab index 1.

if sy-subrc = 0.

var = itab-name.

endif.

loop at itab from 2.

concatenate var ',' itab-name into var seperated by space.

at last.

concatenate var '.' into var.

endat.

endloop.
