Concatenate Statement

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on concatenate operator.

  Data :  E(6) VALUE '140169',
             F(2) VALUE '  ',
             G(8) VALUE '11092010'.

  DATA : STRING TYPE STRING,
              SEP VALUE '/'.

CONCATENATE E F G INTO STRING SEPERATED BY SEP.

WRITE STRING. 

here, i want the output as 140169/ /11092010

but i am getting 140169//11092010

i am unable to get the gap in between the seperator as F is not having any value.. i want space over there.. how to get it?

any body have idea? please help me.

Regards

Priya

Hi Priya,

Use ...

  Data :  E(6) VALUE '140169',
             F(2) VALUE ' ',
             G(8) VALUE '11092010'.

  DATA : STRING TYPE STRING,
              SEP VALUE '/'.


CONCATENATE E F G INTO STRING SEPARATED BY '/' RESPECTING BLANKS.

 WRITE STRING.

Amitava

Hi Priya,

Which version of SAP are you using? RESPECTING BLANKS addition for CONCATENATE is available for version > ECC6.0.

For previous versions you can try this:

DATA :  e(6) VALUE '140169',
           f TYPE string VALUE `  `, "Note the back quotes, this is a string literal & not character literals
           g(8) VALUE '11092010'.

DATA : string TYPE string,
            sep VALUE '/'.

CONCATENATE e f g INTO string SEPARATED BY sep.

WRITE string.

BR,
