Concatenate into the same string field

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want concatenate two string but target field is one of them.

The sentence:

CONCATENATE A B INTO A

doesn't works because of the length of field A.

How to do that?

Thanks,

Declare A length as addition of A&B

data: A(8) type c value 'abcdef',

B(2) type c value 'gh'.

concatenate A B into A.

write:/ A.

Hi,

is this really a problem?

I tried this without a problem:

-

---

DATA: a TYPE string,

b TYPE string.

a = 'AB'.

b = 'AP'.

CONCATENATE a b INTO a.

WRITE a.

-

---

Output ist ABAP

-

---

Hi Carme,

Stefan is right...

data: a type string value 'abcdef',

b type string value 'gh'.

concatenate a b into a.

write:/ a

O/P: abcdefgh

hi Genious,

REPORT ZSAN4.

DATA: ITAB LIKE ZSTUDENT OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY ROLLNO = 1001.

WRITE:/ ITAB-FNAME, ITAB-LNAME, ITAB-CLASS.

Hi,

Check below example:

data: l_a(5) type c value 'ABC',
      l_b(3) type c value 'DEF',
      l_c(10) type c,
      l_d type string.

" concatenating l_a and l_b results in a length of 8 = 5 + 1

concatenate l_a l_b into l_d.

write:/ l_d. " l_d is of type string so it can hold 8 characters

concatenate l_a l_b into l_c.

write:/ l_c. " l_c is of type char with length 10 so it can hold 8 characters from concatenate stmt

concatenate l_a l_b into l_a.

write:/ l_a. " l_a is of type char with length 5, so the maximum length it can hold is 5 characters so there is truncation of the other char(s)

Hope this helps...

Kind Regards
