You can us something like:


DATA: f1(25) TYPE c VALUE 'shital ABAP',

      f2(25) TYPE c VALUE 'shital ABAP'.

IF f1 EQ f2.
   WRITE: /  'True'.
ELSE.
   WRITE: /  'False'.
ENDIF.
.

Refer [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/Helpdata/EN/fc/eb3516358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm] for understand how comparisons happen.

Also note that comparisons are case sensitive.
