Concatenate

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to concatenate 22 fields of an ITAB into another single field of ITAB1 ,... all the fields seperated by | (pipe symbol).

Can anyone tell me if this is the only way I can do it or is there any simple way.

<b>loop at itab into wa.

concatenate wa-f1 wa-f2......wa-f22 into itab1 seperated by '|' .

• ( DO I HAVE TO WRITE AN APPEND FOR ITAB1 ? )

endloop.</b>

Thanks in advance?

Hi,

Using the concatenate statement is the simple way and please try this.

loop at itab into wa.
  concatenate wa-f1 wa-f2......wa-f22 into itab1-field1 seperated by '|' .
  append itab1.
endloop.

or

data: wa_string type string.

loop at itab into wa.
  concatenate wa-f1 wa-f2......wa-f22 into wa_string   seperated by '|' .
  append wa_string to itab.
endloop.

Hey hii

This is the simplest method available. please use following for code efficiency.

data: wa_string type (data_element name of itab1-fieldname).

loop at itab into wa.

concatenate wa-f1 wa-f2......wa-f22 into wa_string seperated by '|' .

append wa_string to itab.

endloop.

by declaring the type as data element, it will not arise any inconsistency issue later.

Reward if u find it useful.

bbye tac care
