DATA(my_string) = | |.

DATA(my_string) = ` `.

Using ' ' means CHAR ´ ´ means STRING

[Sandra_Rossi]

bolivs22 and to continue what Matthew and Frederic said, when a variable of type CHAR contains trailing spaces, they are ignored by most of ABAP statements, hence not appearing in the target variable of type STRING.

` ` would be better here compared to | | as | | is to be used for strings containing variable ABAP data.
