How to insert a space into a string?

Former Member — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:41:15 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a problem inserting a space into a string. It has to be between gs_ma-prename and gs_ma-name.

I don't want to use "SEPARATED BY SPACE" at the end, because that's not the layout I want and just ' ' doesn't work...

DATA lv_body TYPE string.

  CONCATENATE 'Bitte genehmigen.'
  CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
  CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
  'Mit freundlichen Grüßen'
  CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
  CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
  gs_ma-prename gs_ma-name
  INTO lv_body.

Thanks for help!

Best regards!

Hi,

thanks for your fast answer, but that doesn't work

Background of my questions is, that I want to have this string into an Outlook E-Mail body.

Regards!

Hi Patrick ,

To get a space between 2 strings without using 'Separted by Space' , you can use a delimeter where you can have the value 'SPACE' and use it in your concatenate statement .

Here's a sample code :

DATA :

w_name1 TYPE string ,

w_name2 TYPE string ,

w_name3 TYPE string ,

w_deli TYPE c .

w_deli = space .

w_name1 = 'SAP' .

w_name2 = 'ABAP' .

CONCATENATE w_name1 w_name2 INTO w_name3 SEPARATED BY w_deli .

Regards ,

Amuktha .

Hi Patrick,

Here's the logic:

data: v_str type string.

concatenate 'mahesh' '&' 'reddy' into v_str.
replace '&' WITH SPACE INTO v_str.

write:/ v_str.

output:   mahesh reddy

cheers\

Mahesh

This is identical to SEPARATED BY space. The only difference is using a variable rather than a literal. So what's the point?

Please note, that all answers involving CONCATENATE a ' ' b INTO c or variants along these lines have been rejected, because THEY DON'T WORK. Please take the time to test your suggestions before posting.

Still no result...maybe it has something to do with Outlook...

Re: How to insert a space into a string?

try this

DATA lv_body TYPE string.

CONCATENATE 'Bitte genehmigen' ' = ' space INTO lv_body SEPARATED BY space.

CONCATENATE lv_body 'x' INTO lv_body .

write: lv_body.

Patrick - what layout do you want?

If it's what I think you want, you have to do it in two steps:

DATA lv_body TYPE string.
 
CONCATENATE gs_ma-prename gs_ma-name INTO  lv_body SEPARATED BY space.
CONCATENATE 'Bitte genehmigen.' 
    CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
    CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
    'Mit freundlichen Grüßen'
    CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
    CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
    lv_body
  INTO lv_body.

This will give you Bitte genehmigen##Mit freundlichen Grüßen##firstname@lastname where # is newline and @ is space.

Simplest way:

CONCATENATE {dobj1 dobj2 ...}

INTO result

[RESPECTING BLANKS].

Try this...

lv_result = gs_ma-prename && space && gs_ma-name

I understand that this is a very old thread. For what it's worth, the following is the correct way of adding a space to a string. Hopefully it'll provide someone with the answer they're looking for in the future.

CONCATENATIVE 'my string' ` ` 'second string after space' INTO lv_whatever_variable.

Use ` ` (not ' ') to have ABAP interpret it as an actual space.
