Hi,

You can use the following string operations:

1. Condense

2. Shift left deleting leading spaces (or)

Sgift right deleting trailing spaces.

Goto TCode ABAPDOCU. Give keyword as Condense and Shift. To get the exact syntax.

Thanks & Regards,

hi..

use condense functionality.

it will automatically remove all the spaces irrespective of the number of lagging spces.

condense functionality is used for this purpose only.
