Character Literals
Character literals are sequences of alphanumeric characters in the source code of an ABAP program enclosed in single quotation marks. Character literals enclosed in quotation marks have the predefined ABAP type C and are described as text field literals. Literals enclosed in “back quotes” have the ABAP type STRING and are described as string literals. The field length is defined by the number of characters.
Note − In text field literals, trailing blanks are ignored, but in string literals they are taken into account.
Following are some examples of character literals.
Text field literals
REPORT YR_SEP_12.
Write 'Tutorials Point'.
Write / 'ABAP Tutorial'.
String field literals
REPORT YR_SEP_12.
Write `Tutorials Point `.
Write / `ABAP Tutorial `.
The output is same in both the above cases −
Tutorials Point
ABAP Tutorial
