ABAP_SYNTAX result = string_exp.
What does it do? If a string expression string_exp is specified on the right side of the assignment operator =, its result of type string is calculated and assigned to the left side result. The following can be specified for result:
A variable that has type string or to whose data type the result can be converted.
An inline declaration DATA(var) or FINAL(var). The data type of the declared variable var is string.
Latest notes:
In the following example, the result result is a variable with the type string, and strings are appended to this variable on the right side that cannot be recognized as dependent on result by the compiler: result = result dobj1 dobj2 ... result = |result...{ dobj1 ... }...{ dobj2 ... }...|. Here, no interim result is created but it is directly appended to the result. In all other cases, that is, data types other than string or when expressions or functions are appended on the right side, an interim result is created first and then assigned. This optimization improves performance, but it must be ensured that, especially in loops, this improvement is not canceled out by using expression or functions on the right side, even if they are not dependent on result).

ABAP_EXAMPLE_VX5 The first assignment declares a target field of the type string inline and assigns the chained text 12 to it. The second assignment converts the chained text 12 to the number 12. ABEXA 01016 ABAP_EXAMPLE_END
