Insert a space in the string

Former Member — Mon, 21 May 2007 07:31:10 GMT

Dear All,

I would like to know how to insert a space in a string.

For eg: CONCATENATE pmtfle-text ' ' finaccno INTO PMTFLE-TEXT.

I want to insert a space in between pmtfle-text and finaccno. Even though I gave like above, it is not inserting a space.

Right answers will be rewarded.

Best Regards

Renjan

Hi Renjan,

Allow me to introduce you to the concept of a string literal which is not the same as a character literal. A string literal respects trailing spaces, which a char literal does not.

Try the same code you tried earlier, except enclose the spaces in <b>reverse-single quotes</b>, not the single quote character beside the "Enter" key, instead use the one just above the "Tab" Key...

you can concatenate two fileds as

Concatenate <field1> <field2 > INTO string seprated by space.

reward if useful
