Hi There

Do try "RESPECTING BLANKS" at the end of concatenate.

Hope it helps

Example

After the first CONCATENATE statement, result contains "When_the_music_is_over", after the second statement it contains "When______the_______music_____is________ over______" . The underscores here represent blank characters.

TYPES text TYPE c LENGTH 10.

DATA itab TYPE TABLE OF text.

DATA result TYPE string.

APPEND 'When' TO itab.

APPEND 'the' TO itab.

APPEND 'music' TO itab.

APPEND 'is' TO itab.

APPEND 'over' TO itab.

CONCATENATE LINES OF itab INTO result SEPARATED BY space.

...

CONCATENATE LINES OF itab INTO result RESPECTING BLANKS.

When you use the CONCATENATE command all spaces are trimmed.

Hi Laxmi ,

All you need to do is

Data : final type string.

LOOP AT IT_1.

concatenate final it_1-text to final separated BY space.

ENDLOOP.

This must solve the issue , if it does not the use CONDENSE FINAL.

Hi laxmi,

check this code

data :name(5) value 'this',

name1(2) value 'is',

name3(3) value ' ',

name4(10) value 'test file',

name5 type string.

concatenate name name1 name4 into name5 separated by ' '.

write : name5.

try this
