Instead of concatenate, use structure to move your data.

Like:


TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_ADD,
       FIRST TYPE CHAR30,
       LAST  TYPE CHAR40,
       END   OF TY_ADD.

DATA: L_ADD TYPE TY_ADD,
      L_RESULT TYPE CHAR70.

L_ADD-FIRST = 'Naimesh'.
L_ADD-LAST = 'Patel'.

MOVE L_ADD TO L_RESULT.

WRITE: L_RESULT.

You can do it like this as well.

data:   L_RESULT TYPE CHAR70.
 
L_RESULT(30) = 'Naimesh'.
L_RESULT+30(40) = 'Patel'.
  
WRITE: L_RESULT.
