Why CONCATENATE String2 '*' INTO String1 doesn't work?

[Former Member]

hi ABAP experts,

We would like to get a wildcard string by using Concatenate and then in select statement. But when we activate the following simple statement, get the following error:

Statement is not accessible. at the Concatenate statement.

Below is the simple piece of code:

data: String1 TYPE C.

parameters:String2 like EKPO-EKORG.

CONCATENATE String2 '*' INTO String1.

select EBELN EBELP MATNR MENGE from EKPO into table item_itab

Where MATNR like String1.

Hi Kevin,

Use TYPE in Parameters declaration

This is the code I wrote in a test prog...

Parameter: string type ekko-ekorg.

DATA: Str1(10) type c.

concatenate string '*' into str1.

write str1.

Its working...
