Line break in string concatenation

[Former Member]

Hi

According to following link .. I tried to concatenate line break in string concatenation

and my code is like this... I'm on ECC6

DATA: line_br(2) TYPE X VALUE '0D0A'.

DATA: v_line TYPE string.

CONCATENATE 'LINE1' 'LINE2' INTO v_line SEPARATED BY line_br.

"But I'm getting syntax error like  line_br must be a character-type object 

"any other solution please...???

Hi Perez,

Declare the variable line_br as character data type. CONCATENATE statement will allow type c, n,string.

DATA: line_br(4) TYPE c VALUE 'ODOA'.

Thanks,

Vinod.

CONCATENATE 'LINE1' 'LINE2' INTO v_line SEPARATED BY line_br.

write:/ v_line .

Hi Perez,

on unicode systems, starting with ECC600 all SAP systems, you must use attributes of class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES. Look at the attributes of this class and use what you need,

CONCATENATE 'LINE1' 'LINE2' INTO v_line SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.

should do it.

Hi ,

Please use the declaration as follows.

DATA: v_NEWLINE(2) TYPE X VALUE '0D0A' (4.6c)

4.7 and 7.0

data: l_cr(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilites=>cr_lf,

l_lf(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>linefeed.

Just to share...

I was using a fm: FITP_POPUP_TO_INFORM, which I intended to pass in a string with linefeed.

On examination, the FM deletes away my linefeed (cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf).

I found a substitile with vertical tab (cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_vertical_tab).

Works just as well.
