Concatenate date fields issue

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am facing an issue with the Concatenate statement in my program:

Data : w_date type sy-datum,

w_date1 type sy-datum,

W_OPTION_1(60) TYPE C.

w_date1 = sy-datum.

w_date = sy-datum - 40.

CONCATENATE 'ERDAT between' w_date 'and' w_date1 INTO W_OPTION_1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

write : / w_option_1.

The output comes as :

I want these dates in quotes as below.

ERDAT BETWEEN '20090702' AND '20090811'

Can anyone help pls.

Thanks alot.

Hi,

Assign a text-element as apostrophe ( ' ) and then use it in the concatenate statement like

Data : w_date type sy-datum,
w_date1 type sy-datum,
W_OPTION_1(60) TYPE C.

w_date1 = sy-datum.
w_date = sy-datum - 40.

CONCATENATE 'ERDAT between' text-001 w_date text-001 'and' text-001 w_date1 text-001 INTO W_OPTION_1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

write : / w_option_1.

Now you will get the desired output.

Try this way

Please read the forum rules

Constants: c_quot(4)     type c value ''''.        " For value '

CONCATENATE 'ERDAT between' c_quot w_date c_quot 'and' c_quot w_date1 c_quot INTO W_OPTION_1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

Hi ..

CONCATENATE 'ERDAT between' c_quot w_date c_quot 'and' c_quot w_date1 c_quot INTO W_OPTION_1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

this doesn't work as it returns

ERDAT between ' 20090702 ' and ' 20090811 '.

I dont want space between the quote and the date.

Hi

U can't do it by only one step, before cancateniting all in W_OPTION_1 u need to concatenate the dates in a distinctit step:

DATA : W_DATE  TYPE SY-DATUM,
       W_DATE1 TYPE SY-DATUM,
       W_OPTION_1(60) TYPE C.

DATA: W_DATE_A(10),
      W_DATE1_A(10).

W_DATE1 = SY-DATUM.
W_DATE = SY-DATUM - 40.


CONCATENATE '''' W_DATE  '''' INTO W_DATE_A.
CONCATENATE '''' W_DATE1 '''' INTO W_DATE1_A.

CONCATENATE 'ERDAT between'
            W_DATE_A
            'and'
            W_DATE1_A
            INTO W_OPTION_1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

WRITE : / W_OPTION_1.

Then

data : v_text1(15) type c, v_text2(15) type c.
Constants: c_quot(4)     type c value ''''.        " For value '
 write : w_date to v_text1.
write : w_date1 to v_text2.
concatenate c_quot v_text1 c_quot to v_text1. condense v_text1 no-gaps.
concatenate c_quot v_text2 c_quot to v_text2. condense v_text2 no-gaps.
CONCATENATE 'ERDAT between' v_text1  'and' v_text2 INTO W_OPTION_1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

hi,

try this code.

Data : w_date type sy-datum,

w_date1 type sy-datum,

W_OPTION_1(60) TYPE C,

lv_str1(10) type c,

lv_str2(10) type c.

w_date1 = sy-datum.

w_date = sy-datum - 40.

concatenate '''' w_date'''' into lv_str1.

concatenate '''' w_date1 '''' into lv_str2.

CONCATENATE 'ERDAT between' lv_str1 'and' lv_str2 INTO W_OPTION_1 SEPARATED BY SPACE.

.

write : / w_option_1.
