hi Gary,

CONCATENATE whatever1 whatever2 INTO wherever SEPARATED BY SPACE.

can be as well : SEPARATED BY '.'

in this case there will a dot between the strings, etc.

It is write.

Or you can have

CONCATENATE 'Data Type Error: Please change your data type to ' ZSCSDM_OS-FIELD_DATA_TYPE into chktext SEPARATED BY space.

Variables of type c have always blanks to fill them up to the desired length. In Concatenate, those blanks are always ignored when concatenating. You can avoid that by using the separeted clause:


concatenate 'Hello' 'World'
  into var in character mode separated by space.

In that case you will have a blank beween Hello and World.

Or you just use strings instead of Chars. Note that constants in normal quotes are treated as c-type, whereas constants in back quotes are treated as strings and strings can have trailing blanks:


concatenate `Hello ` `World`   "note the backquotes and the space after hello
  into var in character mode.
