You need to define the lenth of FINALNAME, try this.l

DATA: FINALNAME(40) TYPE C.

BTW, as you have it defined without a length specification, the system thinks that FINALNAME is a character field of a length of 1, this is why you are only getting the first character.

Hi,

Use like this:

CONCATENATE TRAN_STRUCTURE-NACHN+0(40)

','

TRAN_STRUCTURE-VORNA+0(40)

TRAN_STRUCTURE-MIDNM+0(40)

INTO FINALNAME

SEPARATED BY space.

Thanks and Best Regards,
