Hi,

I am trying to combinee 2 strings.

I am getting the error that w_str1 is not defined.

W_STR1='THIS IS'.

W_STR2='A BOOK'.

CONCATENATE W_STR1, W_STR2 INTO W_STR3.

WRITE:/ W_STR3.

Hi,

The CONCATENATE statement combines two or more separate strings into one.

CONCATENATE <c1> ... <cn> INTO <c> [SEPARATED BY <s>].

This statement concatenates the character fields <c1> to <cn> and assigns the result to <c>. The

system ignores spaces at the end of the individual source strings.

The addition SEPARATED BY <s> allows you to specify a character field <s> which is placed in

its defined length between the individual fields.

If the result fits into <c>, SY-SUBRC is set to 0. However, if the result has to be truncated, SYSUBRC

is set to 4.

DATA: C1(10) VALUE 'Sum',

C2(3) VALUE 'mer',

C3(5) VALUE 'holi ',

C4(10) VALUE 'day',

C5(30),

SEP(3) VALUE ' - '.

CONCATENATE C1 C2 C3 C4 INTO C5.

WRITE C5.

CONCATENATE C1 C2 C3 C4 INTO C5 SEPARATED BY SEP.

WRITE / C5.

Output:

Summerholiday

Sum - mer - holi - day

In C1 to C5, the trailing blanks are ignored. The separator SEP retains them.

Please use the following code.

data: W_STR1 type string.

data: W_STR2 type string.

data: W_STR3 type string.

W_STR1 = 'THIS IS'.

W_STR2 = 'A BOOK'.

CONCATENATE W_STR1 W_STR2 INTO W_STR3.

WRITE:/ W_STR3.

Infact some spacing is required between "=".

h i rams,

CONCATENATE

Combines a series of strings into a single string.

Syntax

CONCATENATE <c1>... <cn> INTO <c> [ SEPARATED BY <s> ].

The strings <c1> to <cn> are concatenated, and the result placed in <c>. The SEPARATED BY addition allows you to specify a string <s> to be placed between the strings

If useful reward POINTS.

data:

w_str1(10) type c,

w_str2(10) type c,

w_str3(20) type c.

W_STR1='THIS IS'.

W_STR2='A BOOK'.

CONCATENATE W_STR1 W_STR2 INTO W_STR3.

WRITE:/ W_STR3.

Remove comma in your code.

This works.
