concatenating integer and a char (possible?)

Former Member — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 08:31:55 GMT

Hi,

Im new in ABAP developmet.

Please help.

I need to CONCATENATE integer and a char.

EXAMPLE:

data: v_num1 type i value 11,

v_num2 type i value 14,

v_res type i,

v_percent type c value '%',

v_concat type string.

v_res = (v_num1 / v_num2) * 100. " to get the percentage.

CONCATENATE v_res v_percent into v_concat. "<===== is this POSSIBLE. if not HOW?

I need to output, v_res%

thanks..

You can only concatenate character fields.

Move the integer field to a character or string field and do the concatenation.

data v_res_c type string.

move v_res to v_res_c.

concatenate v_res_c v_percent into v_concat.

Define another field type stirng and place v_res in there after the calculation. Use that field in stead in your concatenate statement. . In your case with v_res being integer you will get 100 %.

If you define v_res with decimals you will get a better result I think e.g:

DATA: v_num1      TYPE i VALUE 11,
        v_num2      TYPE i VALUE 14,
        v_res          TYPE p DECIMALS 3,
        v_percent   TYPE c VALUE '%',
        v_concat    TYPE string,
        v_string_res TYPE string.

v_res = ( v_num1 / v_num2 ) * 100.   " to get the percentage.

v_string_res = v_res.

CONCATENATE v_string_res v_percent INTO v_concat.

In addition of Susmitha,

You can CONCATENATE Numc(Numeric text). So do the same thing use numc as place of I(interger).

demo code:

data lv_str TYPE numc2.
data lv_str1 TYPE string.

CONCATENATE lv_str lv_str1 INTO lv_str1.

As everybody said above, You need to copy integer variable to another character variable and then concatenate both the fields.

This will resolve your problem.

Hello Reiner,

CONCATENATE statement will not allow any integer variable to be part of its argument.

Try using a temporary variable to store v_res after the calculation and do concatenation with that variable.

Like..

DATA: v_temp(3) TYPE c.

v_res = (v_num1 / v_num2) * 100. " to get the percentage.

v_temp = v_res.

CONCATENATE v_temp v_percent into v_concat.

Hi,

CONCATENATE wont work with integer ,You can do the following

Change the type of the variable v_res to string or character type OR Assign the v_res to a string or char variable then concatenate.
