concat_lines_of - Concatenation Function
Syntax
... concat_lines_of( [table =] itab [sep = sep] ) ...
Effect
This function concatenates all row contents of an internal table
itab and returns the result as a character string. itab expects an index table with character-like row type. itab is a functional operand position .
sep can be used to specify a string as a separator, which is then inserted between the rows. sep is a character-like expression position . If sep is not specified, the row contents of the internal table are appended to each other directly. If the row types or the argument sep have a fixed length, then trailing blanks are ignored.
The formal parameter table must be specified explicitly only if sep is also specified.
The return code has the type string .
Note
The concatenation operator can be used to concatenate elementary character strings.
Example
This function returns "ABAP Objects".
TYPES c80 TYPE c LENGTH 80.
DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF c80,
result TYPE string.
APPEND 'ABAP' TO itab.
APPEND 'Objects' TO itab.
result = concat_lines_of( table = itab sep = ` ` ).
