Problem in string concatenation in Arabic.

[former_member199126]

Hi people,

I have a problem in concatenating two arabic strings. Please see the below code.

PARAMETERS: p_str1(100) TYPE c DEFAULT ',%مكونات: نشا معدلة 23.86%, شراكوز 7.35',
p_str2(100) TYPE c DEFAULT ',السيليكا'.

DATA: lv_string3(100) TYPE c.

lv_String3 = p_str1 && p_str2.

write lv_string3.

When i concatenate these two strings, i am getting the below output

I see that the % symbol is moving to the front. Is there a way to concatenate these two strings properly?

Regards,

Karthik

idk if it could be a hint for you but in your string % is 1 byte character. I changed it to be 2 byte (in japanese) or put whatever other 2 byte character at begining of str1,then concatenate str2 to str1 like below and it work:

PARAMETERS: p_str1 TYPE string DEFAULT ',％مكونات: نشا معدلة 23.86%, شراكوز 7.35',
 p_str2 TYPE string DEFAULT ',السيليكا'.

DATA: lv_string3(100) TYPE c.

lv_string3 = p_str2 && p_str1.
WRITE / lv_string3.

might be its the byte problem...

Thanks, This goes to the the downstream systems. I am not sure the business will accept or not. Really appreceate for the help.

I don't think so - if this is a unicode system then the characters will all have the same byte length won't they ??. However, that would be a good test to try temporarily to see if that is the case.

What happens if you use CONCATENATE instead?

Same. It does not show any difference when i use concatenate or inline.

And if you define your variables as type String ?
