Concatenate statement

Former Member — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:30:32 GMT

Dear Experts,

I need to concatenate the ' ( ' ) with the text , but I'm unable to declare the constant '

Eg : my text element contans welcome

So I want the result to be 'welcome'

Can some one plese guide me on how to declare the constant for ' .

And how to use concatenate statement in this place.

Thanks

The character ' must be written 2 times when declared as constant


CONSTANTS: ch TYPE c VALUE ''''.
DATA: message(100).

CONCATENATE '(' ch 'WELCOME' ch ')' INTO message.
WRITE message.

Hi,

DATA: lv_var TYPE c LENGTH 7 VALUE 'Welcome'.

CONSTANTS: lv_con TYPE c LENGTH 7 VALUE 'Welcome'.

Check this :

Basically you can try one of this:

CONCATENATE '''' 'Welcome' '''' INTO V_STR.

For any single quote you want to use you have to add an additional quote as an escape character.

OR, use string literals (back quotes)

CONCATENATE `'` 'Welcome' `'` INTO V_STR.
