ABAP Addition
What does it do? The shift direction is defined using LEFT or RIGHT. If neither of the additions is specified, LEFT is used implicitly. If the data object dobj is a string and the addition CIRCULAR is not specified, it is truncated when shifted to the left by the places shifted and extended accordingly when shifted to the right.
ABAP_EXAMPLE_VX5 The content of text field text is moved one place to the right, which means that the digit 9 is lost. The data type string would extend the string by one space. ABEXA 00669 ABAP_EXAMPLE_END
ABAP Addition
What does it do? Using the addition CIRCULAR, the content shifted from the data object to the left or to the right, is inserted again in the places that become available on the opposite side.
