data : length type i.

length = 18 - len.

do length times.

concatenate ' ' var into var separated by space.

Hi,

Use Separated by Space.

<b>concatenate p_matnr '000010' into p_matnr separated by space.</b>

solved....

i solved the issue myself by adding RESPECTING BLANKS at the end of concatenate statement.

This is the code.

parameter : p_matnr like mara-matnr.

data : str(24).

concatenate p_matnr '000010' into str respecting blanks.

write 😕 str.

parameter : p_matnr(24).

data : len type i.

len = STRLEN( p_matnr ).

data : length type i.

data : v_ch,

pat(18).

length = 18 - len.

do length times.

concatenate v_ch space into pat separated by space.

if sy-index = length.

concatenate p_matnr '000010' into p_matnr separated by pat.

endif.

enddo.

Hi,

what do you want to do exactly?

is it that way :

from a string like "xxxxxxxxxxx" with length lesser than or equal to 18, you would like to have a string "xxxxxxxxxxx 000010" on 24 chars? with enough spaces between the original string and the 6 chars long string enqueued?

if that's your issue, you could use overlay, you overlay a string of 24 chars, begining with 18 spaces and ending with your '000010'.

Hope that helps.
