concatenate statement issue....

[Former Member]

Hi,

How can I concatename following string -

His car is 'Black' in color .

The color Black has to be in between commas.

I am getting error when I do the following -

concatenate 'His car is 'Black' in color' into <var_name> is not working.

Please help me.

Regards,

Hello,

I think Single quote is not possible.

You can try like this.

data:RETURNCODE type string,

valueout type string.

concatenate ' " ' 'black' ' " ' into valueout.

concatenate 'His car is' valueout 'in color' into RETURNCODE.

write RETURNCODE.

Thanks.

Try using ` to wrap the literal. You would also need another literal or variable in the CONCATENTATE statement.

concatenate `His car is 'Black' in color` `and has 4 wheels` into <var_name>.

By the way, the ` is the key above the Tab key. You can use multiple quotes as well, but this gets confusing in my opinion. Better to use the ` to wrap the literal.

DATA: Z_TEMP(500) TYPE C VALUE ' '.

CONCATENATE 'His car is &' 'Black' '& in color' INTO Z_TEMP.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '&' IN Z_TEMP WITH ''''.
