CONCATENATE - question

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I have a simple question. I want to give out the full name of a sap-user on a write list and so i want ro concatenate the first- and the lastname togehther divided by a single blank.

But how can I achieve this?

Here my coding:

      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL'
        EXPORTING
          username = lv_username
        IMPORTING
          address  = ls_adress
        TABLES
          return   = lt_return.

      CONDENSE: ls_adress-firstname,
                ls_adress-lastname.
      CONCATENATE ls_adress-firstname 
                  ' ' 
                  ls_adress-lastname
        INTO lv_name
        RESPECTING BLANKS.

But the result is like this:

Firstname Lastname

I think the addition RESPECTING BLANKS also gives out the complete chars that are defined in the data element and not the filled one.

How can I recode this for a better solution?

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards

Hi Max,

You need to use 'SEPARATED BY SPACE'.

       CONCATENATE ls_adress-firstname 
                  ls_adress-lastname
        INTO lv_name
        SEPARATED BY SPACE.
