Hi,

U cannot directly concatenate interger and char

for that ; move the integer to char variable then concatenate.

example.


data : lv_int       type I,   " it can be currency ,  float.
       lv_char_int  type char16,
       lv_variable1 type char1,
       lv_data      type char30.


<b>lv_char_int = lv_int.</b>

concatenate lv_char_int
            lv_variable
        into lv_data.

Hi,

First move that variable to char variable.

Then use the concatenate statement.

Integers can't be concatenated..

Cheers,

Simha.

you must convert to character types amount types.

ex:


data : sample(10) type p decimals 3.
data : charr(15) type c.
data : cuk(3) type c.
data : concat(100) type c.


sample = '12345.15'.
cuk = 'TO'.

write sample to charr.

concatenate charr cuk into concat.

The best way is to use the UNPACK command...

I would suggest you to UNPACK the numeric field into a character one and than concatenate with the other character field.
