Hi,

DATA text type string.
CONCATENATE '''' 'hello' '''' into text.
write: text.

Single quote can be concatenated by typeing it twice.

Here '''' are required as you need to put a character between two quotes '' and to display ' you need to escape its special behaviour by typing it twice.

Sesh

`'mystring'`

code

data:
  l_text1(10) type c value '`',
  l_text2(10) type c value 'next',

  concatenate l_text1 l_text2 into l_out.


  write:/ l_out.

Well for using a single quote in CONCATENATE statement type it 4 times as shown in example below:

DATA : TEXT1(10) TYPE C.

CONCATENATE '''' 'HELLO' '''' INTO TEXT1.

The output will be : 'HELLO'

NOTE : REWARD POINTS IF USEFUL.

Use like..

data: t_str type string.

concatenate '''' 'prax' into t_str.

write:/ t_str.

It concatenates only single ' to the string
