Hi Sriram:

Is not clear for me all your explanation, please paste some code about your program, otherwise help you is hard.

One propousal:

DATA: TEXT(72) C.
CONTATENATE ITAB-MATNR  ITAB-VKORG  ITAB-VTWEG  INTO  TEXT SEPARATE BY '/'.

Don't work for you this piece of code?

Can't be very difficult...:-

lt_header-tdname = lv_matnr.
lt_header-tdname+17(4) = lv_vkorg.
lt_header-tdhane+21(2) = lv_vtweg.

u can use the following:

move matnr to variable

move vkorg to variable+18(4)

move vtweg to variable+22(2)

When in doubt, always go back and read the help files - the answer you require for CONCATENATE is right there...here's a clue - look at extra option #3.

Hi,

Actually, if I read the question correctly, the issue is that the material should be reformatted for output before being used in the concatenation and, therefore, concatenate may not be applicable because of the embedded spaces.

I would suggest something like...

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'  (Use the pattern button to get this - may need ALPHA not MATN1)
  EXPORTING 
    INPUT     = YOUR_MATNR_FIELD
  IMPORTING
    OUTPUT     = LV_MATNR.
CLEAR L_TDNAME.
L_TDNAME = LV_MATNR.
L_TDNAME+18(4) = YOUR_VKORG.
L_TDNAME+22(2) = YOUR_VTWEG.
* Use resulting L_TDNAME as your text name

Hope I understood correctly.
