space between fields

[Former Member]

hello friends,

i have to concatenate the value of material classification which im gettin through a function module together in a variable and display it in the smf

there r 6 fields which i have to concatenate in an particular manner only

like ab/c+de/f

now if say 'b' and 'e' are initial then the output should be like

a* /c+d* /f , that space which b and e r taking should be there,

i cant use concatenate here since it wil remove the spaces

so wat exactly i should do 2 preserve that space

hope this may be usefull...

please reward.

Yes that could be the issue ,im looking at 6.0

Here is another way to do this.

In every variable do a

replace space by some character u know will not be valid data.

Concatenate the values.

and then do a replace all with space.
