problem in Concatenate

Former Member — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 15:38:14 GMT

Hi Abaper's

I have one problem in concatenation.While concatenation the spaces in the variable are getting removed.Is there any other way so that I can get the concatenated value with spaces.

For eg:

matnr = '100300 '

maktx = 'description '

CONCATENATE matnr maktx INTO Temp.

After concatenation the temp should contain 100300$$$$$$$ description$$$$$$$$$$$$

Where $ indicates a space.

How to achieve this,kindly suggest

hi Sapient,

Pass spaces here..

[code]matnr = '100300$$$$$$$$ '

maktx = 'description$$$$$ '[/code]

[code]CONCATENATE matnr maktx INTO Temp separated by SPACE.[/code]

Regards,

Santosh

Try:

MOVE: matnr TO temp,

maktx TO temp+18.

hi,

Instead of concatenate, make use of offset. It retains the spaces.

as you already know the length of matnr and maktx..

temp+0(10) = 100300.

temp+10(40) = 'description'.

write:/ temp.

There are two ways to resolve it...

translate matnr using ' $'.

translate maktx using ' $'.

concatenate matnr maktx into temp separated by '$'.

translate temp using '$ '.

Second option is to write the value into Temp variable using offset and length.

offset = 0.

describe field matnr length llen in character mode.

write matnr to temp+offset(llen).

offset = offset + llen + 1.

describe field maktxr length llen in character mode.

write maktx to temp+offset(llen).

sorry,I missed to mention one thing

In the above eg

matnr = '100300 '

maktx = 'description '

CONCATENATE matnr maktx INTO Temp.

In the above matnr and maktx value has some space after 100300$$$$$$ and description$$$$$$,

Where $ indicates a space

so after concatenation these spaces should not be supressed.

then you can use OFFSET.

data : temp(60) type c.

temp+0(13) = matnr.

temp+14(23)= maktx.

now if you check the value it will have blank spaces betwen the 2.

You can do something like this, notice that the length of the output field is 58.

[code]

report zrich_0001.

data: matnr type mara-matnr.

data: maktx type makt-maktx.

data: tmp type string.

data: len type i.

matnr = 'ABCDE'.

maktx = 'description'.

translate matnr using ' $'.

translate maktx using ' $'.

concatenate matnr maktx into tmp.

translate tmp using '$ '.

len = strlen( tmp ).

write:/ len, tmp.

[/code]

Hi,

Do like this,you will surely get

data:matnr like mara-matnr,maktx like makt-maktx,temp(50) type n,sp(10) type c.

sp = ' '. <<declare a variable with 5 spaces in single quotes>>

matnr = '100300'.

maktx = 'description'.

concatenate matnr maktx into temp separated by sp.

concatenate temp sp into temp.

write:/ temp.

Hi there,

Try this:

CONCATENATE matnr maktx INTO Temp SEPARATED BY SPACE.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

use

CONCATENATE matnr maktx INTO Temp SEPARATED BY SPACE.

reward if useful.

try this

data : text1(240),

matnr(18) type c value '1234',

maktx(40) type c value'material',

len type i,

pos1 type i,

spaces(18).

len = strlen( matnr ).

do len times.

spaces+pos1(1) = ' '.

pos1 = pos1 + 1.

enddo.

concatenate matnr(18) maktx(40) into text1 separated by spaces.
