Hi Laure

Please check if the below code helps...

data : len type i.

concatenate string1 string into combined.

len = strlen( combined ).

combined+len(10) = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>SPACE_STR.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Try this

Constants: c_space(10) type c value '10 spaces'.

Concatenate str1 str2 c_space into string.

Hi,

Let suppose your string1 has length 5 char and string2 has length 3 char now you want 10 spaces in combined_string with these 2 strings, then you can do this

data:string1(5) type c,

string2(3) type c,

combined_string(20) type c.

CONCATENATE string1 string2 into combined_string separated by space.

This will meet your requirement.

hi Ranganath,

your help looks promising but when i tried to activate the program, i get an error

at line combined+len(10) = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>SPACE_STR.:

"BACKSPACE-" expected, not "SPACE_".

can you check?

tnx,

laure

Hi Laure

Please check whether you have the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES in SE24 and in that Attributes as SPACE_STR. Also try with the option CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES -> SPACE_STR.

Hi Laure

Apologies for wrong suggestion. Just forgot to check that attribute is a Private member in the class, you cannot access it directly. One option would be inherit that class and later use that attribute in your program, which need lots of efforts.

Else other approach would be to declare a constant of 10 characters and for the value part between the quotes - Hold the ALT key and press the number 0160 from numpad in your kepboard i.e. the ascii value for space. This will give you 1 space, you can copy paste this value for subsequent 9 chars.

Hope this helps.

hi Ranganath,

the ascii technique works fine for me.

all i have to do now is to figure out how to make the number of spaces dynamic (coz it's not always 10 as my sample indicates).

thanks for the effort.

10 points for you.

tnx,
