Hi,

The code which was wrote by you is syntactically wrong. If you want to multiply declare another variable and assign the multiplication value to that variable.

data: j type i,

n type i,

m type i.

j = 10.

n = 20.

m = j * n.

write m.

hi,

in ABAP you can't assign runtime vlue to write statement like this. Try this

data: j type i,
        n type i,
product type i .

j = 10.
n = 20.

product = j * n
write product.

data: j type i,
n type i,
result type i.

j = 10.
n = 20.
result = j * n.
write:result.

Hi,

try this code-

data: j type i,
n type i,
result type i.

j = 10.
n = 20.

Result = j  *  n.


write result.

Hi Ali,

No, you cannot write in that way.

Try the following:

data: j type i,
        n type i,
        w_mul type i .
j = 10.
n = 20.
 
w_mul  = j * n
write w_mul.

Hi,

Declare another variable and store the result and use that variable to display the result in the list.

Thanks,

Why don't you try it and see, rather than clogging up the forums with trivial questions.
