Did you SEARCH in SCN before posting ?

Press F1 on concatenate.

concatenate wa_Fin-a '- ' wa_fin-b into wa_fin-c seperated by space.

[Former Member]

concatenate wa_Fin-a ' - ' wa_fin-b into wa_fin-c .
or,
concatenate wa_Fin-a space '-'  space  wa_fin-b into wa_fin-c .

I was going to reject this post, but saw the question about 5 spaces, so I decided it's sufficiently different to remain.

Nonsense. Have you tried it?

To the original poster. Concatenate ignores (removes) trailing spaces from the components. ( Generally - there are some exceptions in later releases, read F1 help for more info. ). If you need to retain spaces, or add extra ones in, try something like this

CONCATENATE field1 '#####-#####' field2 INTO output.
TRANSLATE output USING '# '.

Often the F1 help isn't entirely clear. We're always happy to provide further explanation to people who've shown that they tried to help themselves.

please search sdn first

Here's the logic

data: v_str type string.

concatenate 'Mahesh' '&' '&' '-' '&' '&' 'Reddy' into v_str.

replace '&' WITH SPACE INTO v_str.
replace '&' WITH SPACE INTO v_str.
replace '&' WITH SPACE INTO v_str.
replace '&' WITH SPACE INTO v_str.

write:/ V_STR.

In this you'll find double spaces between the strings.

Hope it helps

SEARCH in SCN you will get so many posts on using this statement for multiple spaces.

CONCATENATE text1 text2 INTO text RESPECTING BLANKS.

Whenver u need to have space between two words use the option 'seperated by space'.

This will provide you space between each word.

Hi Beginers,

When you post a query before search for that in SCN.

Before searching that search in ABAP F1 Help...(Best & Easy Guide to all Strings)

Before searching there Try to change your editor to new editor, where it automatically Shows the syntax.

It hurts to reply like this, But some day you will gain enough knowledge very Quickly.

Thanks & regards,
