Concatenate Statement

Former Member — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:22:25 GMT

I'm running into issues concatenating two long char fields together into one. I am being limited to only 255 characters in my variable which I am concatenating into. This variable is defined as (1024) type c so there should be plenty of room. Can anyone help?

data v_char1(255) type c.

data v_char2(255) type c.

data v_char3(1024) type c.

v_char1 =

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'&

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

v_char2 =

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'&

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

concatenate v_char1 v_char2 into v_char3.

WRITE V_CHAR3.

After concatenation pl. check in debug mode for the content of V_CHAR3. When u write a variable in out max. 255 char. can be displayed. This is a limitation of SAP. In this case as u displayng the content using WRITE statement that's why it is showing only 255 char. But actually it contains 510 chars.

data v_char1(255) type c.

data v_char2(255) type c.

data v_char3(1024) type c.

v_char1 =

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'&

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

v_char2 =

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'&

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

concatenate v_char1 v_char2 into v_char3.

WRITE V_CHAR3.
