Long String Constant

former_member343107 — Tue, 29 May 2007 05:21:01 GMT

Dear all,

In my ABAP program I need to assign a long string constant to a variable. But there's limit for the length of a line. Can anybody give me a solution other than using CONCATENATE key word?

Thanks, Jerome

Hi,

In this case it is better to use "TEXTS" in the program starting from text-001 to...

In this text u can assign upto 132 characters.

If ur strign is still longer than create such texts and then concatenate thes texts using

CONCATENATE <TEXT-001> TO <TEXT-002>

SEPERATED BY SPACE.

REWARD PTS IF USEFUL,

REGARDS,

HARSHA

i am not sure what is your requirement.

you can do like this.

V_text = strng+0(1200).

write : / v_text.

the "&" character allows you to concatenate several lines into a single string literal:

  constants: lc_longstring type string value
             'this is a very, ' &
             'very long string constant that is split ' &
             'over several lines of source'.

  write: / lc_longstring.
