CONCATENATE - Combines 2 or More Strings Into One String

This document provides examples of using ABAP string functions including CONCATENATE, SPLIT, SEARCH, and REPLACE. CONCATENATE combines strings, SPLIT splits a string into smaller strings, SEARCH searches for a substring, and REPLACE replaces a substring. Each function sets a return code in the system variable sy-subrc to indicate success or failure.

DATA: s1(10) VALUE 'Hello',


s2(10) VALUE 'ABAP',
s3(10) VALUE 'World',
result1(30),
result2(30).
CONCATENATE s1 s2 s3 INTO result1.
CONCATENATE s1 s2 s3 INTO result2 SEPARATED BY '-'.
WRITE / result1.
WRITE / result2.

Output

If the the concatenated string fits in the result string, then the system variable sy-subrc is set to 0.
If the result has to be truncated then sy-subrc is set to 4.
SPLIT Splits a string into 2 or more smaller strings.
DATA: s1(10), s2(10), s3(10),
source(20) VALUE 'abc-def-ghi'.
SPLIT source AT '-' INTO s1 s2 s3.
WRITE:/ 'S1 - ', s1.
WRITE:/ 'S2 - ', s2.
WRITE:/ 'S3 - ', s3.

Output

If all target fields are long enough and no target fields has to be truncated then sy-subrc is set to
0, else set to 4.
SEARCH Searches for a sub string in main string. If found then sy-subrc is set to 0, else set to
4.
DATA: string(30) VALUE 'SAP ABAP Development',
str(10) VALUE 'ABAP'.

SEARCH string FOR str.


IF sy-subrc = 0.
WRITE:/ 'Found'.
ELSE.
WRITE:/ 'Not found'.
ENDIF.
