In SE11 declare a domain with CHAR with size 1000 characters and then declare it in your program

use this domain type

CHAR1024_WAO its length is 1024 and also output

Try out i hope it works

Hi,

If this the issue then its better you Declare the Variable Character with length 500.

Data: variable(500) type c.

Now concatenate the Text into Variable.

You can use string to concatenate the variables .

It will be more flexible than use of any data element of length. Because it maximum length

is around 1500. BUt if you use string it can capture 5000 characters.

Plzz see the example

DATA: l_char TYPE /DVSREPRO/ZFILBUFT500,

l_string TYPE string,

l_char1 TYPE /DVSREPRO/ZFILBUFT500,

l_char2 TYPE /DVSREPRO/ZFILBUFT500.

l_char = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'.

l_char1 = 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'

& 'BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB'

& 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'.

l_char2 = 'CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC'

& 'ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'

& 'c1c1c1c1c1c1c1cc1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1c1cc1c1c1c1c'.

CONCATENATE l_char l_char1 l_char2 INTO l_string.

WRITE: l_string.

hiii

you can use type C here as its having maximum length as 65535..but i think if it will be string then also it should work..because for a long line mostly we are using string as data type.

Hi Aditya,

There should not be any problem. Because i used a string variable to concatenate data having lenth of around 2500 characters+.

Paste ur concatenate statement.

Check this piece of code which transfers 1500 characters at once into application server(This is limit with transfer but not with string)


  l_len = strlen( p_data ).
  DO.
    IF l_len LT 1500.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(l_len) TO p_file.
      MOVE 0 TO l_len.
    ELSE.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(1500) TO p_file.
      SUBTRACT 1500 FROM l_len.
      ADD 1500 TO l_offset.
    ENDIF.
    CHECK l_len EQ 0.
    EXIT.
  ENDDO.

If u still have problem then declare one character variable of sufficient length.

DATA: l_data(2000) TYPE c.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Dear Aditya,

I am also having the same issue.

I tried by defining the variable as Char(500) and Char(1024). But of no use.

I am concatenating the text1 and text2 of more than 255 characters (After concatenation) into a variable which is type String.

But it is taking only 255 characters.

Could you please share with me how you resolved it?

Chaitanya A
