concatenate strings without trim space

[Former Member]

Hi, i am looking for a Method in ABAP that concatenate strings without trim space on any string.

I will send a PDF-Document from the archivelink as attachment in an E-Mail, but the archivelink function deliver the document in lines with 1024 character und the input function for the attachment of the E-Mail need the document in lines with 255 character.

I think, concatenate all lines und seperate them, but sometimes i lose a space.

I try some solutions:

DATA l_document(65535) TYPE c.

DATA line_doc_length TYPE i.

line_doc_length = 0.

LOOP AT archivobject INTO wa_archivobject.

l_document+line_doc_length = wa_archivobject.

line_doc_length = line_doc_length + 1024.

ENDLOOP.

That solution match, but the max length of the document is 65535 character.

I try the same with a dynamic Object like 'Create Data ...', but in this case it is not allowed to use an offset.

Thanks for help

Hi,

Why don't you declare as string

DATA l_document TYPE string.

Hi,

thanks for your response, but this was my first try. The one and only command that i found in ABAP to concatenate strings, is 'CONCATENATE' and this command has no option for no trim space und that is, I think, the main problem.

The second problem is, I can't found a function to set the length of a parameter from type string und you receive a compiler error by use offsets and/or length on parameter from type string.

DATA l_document TYPE string. "<<<<<<<<< I try your suggestion

DATA line_doc_length TYPE i.

line_doc_length = 0.

LOOP AT archivobject INTO wa_archivobject.

l_document+line_doc_length = wa_archivobject. "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Error

line_doc_length = line_doc_length + 1024.

ENDLOOP.

original message from compiler:

- At the write position, you cannot use offset and length specifications with fields of type "STRING" or "XSTRING". -

Thanks

use the character ` ` instead of ' '.

example:

DATA: vl_data TYPE string.
CONCATENATE 'a' `   `    'b' INTO vl_data.
WRITE vl_data.

the output:

a b

You can use this code to make sure that a space is inserted between the lines that you are concatenating:

CONCATENATE string_a string_b INTO total_string SEPARATED BY space.

I hope this helps.
