you need four apostrophes:

CONCATENATE '''' str1 '''' INTO str2.

If your query is as follows :

str1 = string

and you want str2 = "string1" i.e., if you want to concatenate only double quotes (") at the beginning and at the end of the string. Then you can refer this code snippet.

DATA str1(10) VALUE 'string1'.

DATA str2(13) TYPE c.

CONCATENATE '"' str1 '"' INTO str2.

WRITE str2.

Now str2 will contain "string1".

Hi,

As per your requirement use the following statement

concatenate '''''' string1 '''''' into string2.

Here u will get the result like string2 = ''string''.

Prem:

1. pls. answer to the person you "talk" to, not to yourself (to make it clear, who do you address your comment)

2. First try out, if the advise works, after that you can still comment in case it does not work...
