Hi,

I'm new to ABAP, i coded the below statements, when i check i get the message:

E:Incomplete arithmetic expression: ")" missing at end of statement. Can anyone please let me what is the issue with the below code.

deno1 = ( ( 60 ) / ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKPICKSPH ) ) + ( ppha ).

deno2 = ( ( 60 ) / ( tpph ) ) + ( ppha ).

if deno1 = '0'.

overpc1 = ( ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR ) / ( 60 / 0.0001 ) ) * 100.

else.

overpc1 = ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR / ( 60 / deno1 ) ) * 100.

endif.

if deno2 = '0'.

overpc2 = ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR / ( 60 / 0.0001 ) ) * 100.

else.

overpc1 = ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR / ( 60 / deno2 ) ) * 100.

endif.

Thanks,

what is this /BIC/ZKEMPIPHR?

/ can be taken as division operator every where. can you rename the above variable

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. /BIC/ZKEMPIPHR is structure, this is a code for a BW routine. There are no issues with this field. I guess the issue is with the usage of "(" and ")".

Thanks,

Try like this



deno1 = ( ( 60 ) / ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKPICKSPH ) ) + ( ppha ).
deno2 = ( ( 60 ) / ( tpph ) ) + ( ppha ).

if deno1 = '0'.
overpc1 = ( ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR ) / ( 60 / 0.0001 ) ) * 100.
else.
overpc1 = ( ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR )  / ( 60 / deno1 ) ) * 100.
endif.

if deno2 = '0'.
overpc2 = ( ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR ) / ( 60 / 0.0001 ) ) * 100.
else.
overpc1 = ( ( SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZKEMPIPHR )  / ( 60 / deno2 ) ) * 100.
endif.

Hi,

You are rgt...the problem is with the brackets. Give a space after and before the brackets.It should work fine.
