OPeration on String
----------------------
First Name : ABAP
Last Name : Learning
CONCATENATE two string into single string
1. STRLEN : String length
IF we want to put validation on table field length
Employee type
Fname : 50 character.
PARAMETER : P_NAME TYPE STRING.
adddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
IF STRLEN(P_NAME) GT 50.
>
WRITE : "wrong Input'.
2. Concatenate : Adding two string into single string
3. Condense : Deleting extra space
Name : ABAP .
4. Replace : Replacing any character with other

concatenate <veriable1> <variable2>.....<variable n> INTO
<final_vailable>
WRITE : STRLEN( GV_RESULT ). => length of string.
Input Text : 29.06.2025. 11.45.23 (Today's date)

1. Direct message : Text available in your program.(Hard coded text in program).
2. Using text element/text symbol. (Se38 ) ===>
3. Global Class : Se91 (Transaction code , resubale)
Perchance order
'Record is available in table' => Waseem
=> Sayed
MESSAGE <TEXT> TTPE 'I'
MESSAGE TEXT-002 TYPE 'I' => Text symbol (Se38, EDIT)
