you must use minimum of two fields to concatenate like dobj1 and dobj2

CONCATENATE {dobj1 dobj2 ...}|{LINES OF itab}

INTO result

[IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]

[SEPARATED BY sep]

[RESPECTING BLANKS].

Hi,

Concatenate can be used only for two more values of character data type. Thats why you got the error. Just make it the code as like follows.

DATA: lv_wa TYPE solisti1,

lv_output(150) TYPE c.

CONCATENATE lv_wa-line ' ' into lv_output SEPARATED BY '|'.

Sankar.

hi Sudheer,

You have to give at least two fields for concatenate.

I guess you are concatenation only one filed in concatenate.

If you dont have one, you can use it this way.

CONCATENATE

lv_wa-line

' '

into lv_output

SEPARATED BY '|'.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

Arun

hi,

The syntax for CONCATENATE is

CONCATENATE SOURCe1 SOURCE2 into TARGET.

You are using only one source .

Please check and let us know.

Hi Sudheer, Check this one.

DATA: lv_wa TYPE solisti1, 
      lv_output(150) TYPE c.

"CONCATENATE lv_wa-line INTO lv_output SEPARATED BY '|'.
1
" CONCATENATE commnad is used to concatenate to character strings. you have to specify another char variable.
2
"Above statement is not advisable because Length of lv_wa-line is greater
"than lv_output.
3.
"try this way
CONCATENATE lv_output ',' INTO lv_wa SEPARATED BY '|'.

Hi,

you need to concatenate atleast two fields,it will not work for a single value.

Check this

DATA: lv_wa TYPE solisti1,

lv_output(150) TYPE c.

lv_wa-line = 'suresh raja'.

CONCATENATE

lv_wa-line 'suresh'

into lv_output

SEPARATED BY '|'.

write: / lv_output.

output: suresh raja | suresh

Regards,

Raj.
