CONCATENATION not working properly. Kindly help!

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi Experts,

I am concatenating some string literals and workarea field values as shown below

Data: v_subj(250) TYPE c.

CONCATENATE text-033

'Customer DUNS:'

wa_cust-duns

'. PIP NO:'

wa_cust-pipno

INTO v_subj.

text-033 contains "ACTION REQUIRED - Inventory Reconciliation has not been processed due to backend system issues."

wa_cust-duns contains '030414416'

wa_cust-pipno conatins '0000000006825611'

When I run the code and check the v_subj it has the value

"ACTION REQUIRED - Inventory Reconciliation has not been processed due to backend system issues. Customer DUNS:030414416. PIP ID:00000."

The pipno value is not getting populated fully in v_subj. But wa_cust-pipno has correct value '0000000006825611'.

v_subj variable has also size 250. Total no of characters in the concatenated string is just 144.

What is the problem? Where am I going wrong? Please help me.

Thanks

Gopal

Hi,

write the statement as:

CONCATENATE text-033 'Customer DUNS:' wa_cust-duns '. PIP NO:' wa-cust-pipno into v_subj.

write: v_subj.

Hope this helps.

Reward if helpful.

Hi Sipra,,

I have actually included INTO clause. It was a TYPO error in writing in this forum text area. I have actually defined it as:

CONCATENATE text-033 'Customer DUNS:' wa_cust-duns '. PIP NO:' wa-cust-pipno into v_subj.

I am still getting the same problem.

declare v_subj as type string.

Did u tried giving v_subj type string.

are u facing this problem while debugging or while displayig data. if it is debugging, it will show that much only if it is while displaying data then there is a problem.

But what is the problem with declaring v_subj as char type of size 250?

Is there any problem?

[suresh_datti]

nothing wrong with your syntax.. just for the heck of it try to concatenate some junk chars after the pipno & see if works ie

CONCATENATE text-033 'Customer DUNS:' wa_cust-duns '. PIP NO:' wa-cust-pipno 'TEST' into v_subj.

Hi,

Just try to increase the line-size in the Report heading.

Kumar.

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi Kumar,

Actually this is not a report. I have written this code in a function module

which returns the v_subj as output.

So how can I increase the line size? Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,

Can u post the code of declaration part of wa_cust.

Hi

wa declaration is like this:

wa_cust TYPE ystnd_format_inv.

Where ystnd_format_inv is a structure defined in SE11.

In this structure the duns field is of char type and size 10.

pipno is also char type and size 20.

check SY-SUBRC after concatenate statement , If it 4 then the result gets truncated..

[Former Member]

just split the statment and try out

CONCATENATE text-033 'Customer DUNS:'  into v_subj.

concatenate v_subj wa_cust-duns '. PIP NO:' wa-cust-pipno into v_subj.

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi Chandra

I have tried splitting. But still getting the same problem

[Former Member]

Did u tried giving v_subj type string.

are u facing this problem while debugging or while displayig data. if it is debugging, it will show that much only if it is while displaying data then there is a problem.

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi

I am facing this problem both while debugging as well as displaying it.

Actually this is not a report. I have written this code in a function module

which returns the v_subj as output.

[Former Member]

a last try use , offsets

v_subj+0(85) = text-033.
v_subj+85(15) = 'Customer DUNS:'
v_subj+100(y) = wa_cust-duns.
v_subj+x(y) = '. PIP NO:',
v_subj+x(y) =  wa-cust-pipno.

"Adjust the length accordingly

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi Chandra,

Your offset soln is working.

Thanks.

That means is there any limitation of CONCATENATE statement?

[Former Member]

I am not sure abt that , may be the maximum length is 144 only , will have to chk OSS for that

Pls reward for helpful answers and cloe thread if problem solved

[Former Member]

Hi gopal,

pls try to appreciate others by giving points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[raymond_giuseppi]

What is the value of SY-SUBRC after the CONCATENATE?

If SY-SUBRC = 4, the result was too long for v_subj and could only be transferred in the defined length of v_subj.

Also don't forget that in debug, data-fields are displayed truncated at 132 (which is the length of the result string you wrote in your message)

So in debug mode try to display v_subj+132.

Regards

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi

SY-SUBRC after concatenate statement is 0.
