CONCATENATE

Former Member — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 08:58:29 GMT

data : a(3) type c value '123'.

blank(3) type c ' '.

b (4) type c value '456'.

final type string .

concartenate a blank b into final.

While doing so.....i am expecting FINAL as : 123 456.

123 (3 spaces) 456....but it is not taking 3 blanks between the two variables.

And if i try as......Concatenate a b into final with space

It is showing the result as

123 456.(only one space in between.)....but i want 3 spaces in between.

hi John,

code like:

CONCATENATE a b INTO final SEPARATED BY ' '.

i. .e. 3 spaces between the ''

Hi John..

CONCATENATE will remove the Trailing Spaces while concatenating strings.

So Try this.

data : a(3) type c value '123',

blank(3) type C,

b(4) type c value '456',

final type string .

concatenate a blank b into final separated by SPACE.

WRITE: FINAL.

blank1(1) type c value '@'.

blank2(1) type c value '@'.

blank3(1) type c value '@'.

b (4) type c value '456'.

CONCATENATE will remove the spaces if we use literals that are in single quotes

Single quote - '

Try using back quotes

Back Quote - `

and store 3 spaces in it. This should help, but I am not sure.

declare blank(3) as follows

data: blank(3) type c value '   '.

note: i have not used space but Alt + 0160

to get this character, keep alt pressed, then type 0160 on the numpad, then release the alt

do it thrice for your three space characters

this is the ascii code for space

so much guys and noone knows the addition of the concatenate statement

you can do following:

concatenate a, '3 blanks here', b into c RESPECTING BLANKS.

Hi florian,

thanx for sharing your knowledge i have written this code in version 4.7


data : a(6) type c value '123',
       b(4) type c value '456',
       final type string .

concatenate  a b into final RESPECTING blankS.
write : / final.

*concatenate a '   ' b into ifinal respecting blanks.
*write : / final.

but it is giving me the error

".", "IN BYTE MODE", "SEPARATED BY ..." or "IN CHARACTER MODE" expected

after "FINAL".

can you tell me what is the reason ?

NB : commented code also i have tried .
