Inserting inverted comma in constant

Former Member — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:57:16 GMT

I have to include an inverted comma in text literal.

How to do this.

The text is 'MSD Int' l Services B.V.'

Note the comma after "int" in above text

if i declare like this

constants:c_1048_text TYPE char40 VALUE 'MSD Int' l Services B.V.'.

this is giving error.

HI,

write like this.

constants:c_1048_text TYPE char40 VALUE 'MSD Int'' l Services B.V.'.

immediate single quotation in abap is treated as inverted comma

Hi Ajay,

You can write (so 2 inverted commas):

constants:c_1048_text TYPE char40 VALUE 'MSD Int'' l Services B.V.'.

Regards,

John.

Hi,

constants:c_1048_text TYPE char40 VALUE `MSD Int' l Services B.V.`.

note write ur text within ` ` not ' ' if u have to use ' in ur text

now it won't give error

Cheers,

Will.
