Problem with concatenate

Former Member — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 16:38:32 GMT

Hi,

I have a problem with concatenae in Right to Left

The Problem is very simple

data: data1 type char02 value 'AA'.

data: data2 type char10 value '12345'.

data: result type char20.

concatenate data1 '-' data2 into result.

concatenate data2 '-' data1 into result.

The result doesn't change

Try it by Debug or display to screen.

The result is AA-12345

I want to display 12345-AA

in LTR it's working fine

if the values are 123-456 it's working fine 123-456 => 456-123

if the values are ABC-DEF it's working fine ABC-DEF => DEF-ABC

AA-12345 => AA-12345 I Want 12345-AA In Right to left not Left to Right

but Numbers and chars it's not change the direction

How to solve the issue?

Jermy

Hi Germi.

I couldn't simulate your problem here (I created a second "result" variable), see:

DATA: data1 TYPE char02 VALUE 'AA'.

DATA: data2 TYPE char10 VALUE '12345'.

DATA: result TYPE char20.

DATA: result2 TYPE char20.

CONCATENATE data1 '-' data2 INTO result.

CONCATENATE data2 '-' data1 INTO result2.

WRITE: result, result2.

DISPLAYS:

AA-12345 12345-AA

Regards.

Did you run it by right to left ?

I've got same result.

Did you try "textdirection" and "textalign" properties?

"textDirection: sap.ui.core.TextDirection.LTR,

textAlign: sap.ui.core.TextAlign.End"

You can't do it directly whatever the programming language is. Same for ABAP.

It can be done only at output time, and is valid only if you're logged in a RTL language.
