Can't resolve the error for string operator && (concatenation )

675 Views

Hi All,

I am new to programming in ABAP and writing some code from some online tutorial available on SDN. I am receiving the following error with the code below

method SHOW.
Data  msg type string.
  msg = `Vehicle`       && |{ID}| &&
        `,Speed = `     && |{speed}| &&
        `,max-speed = ` && |{max_speed}|. 
  Message msg Type 'I'.
endmethod.

ID, speed and max_speed are of type integer. This code is supposed to give a message "Vehicle 7, speed 10, max-speed = 50" by concatenating the strings

However I receive the following error

Incorrect arithmetic or bit expression: Instead of "&&", an operator

(+, -, *, /, ... or BIT-AND, BIT-XOR, BIT-OR) was expected.

Read the online documentation and the code seem to be consistent with the guidelines.

What am i missing.

Thank

BRS
