condition in smartform

soumya_jose3 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:32:27 GMT

Hi,

I need to put a condition in smartform like below:

(IT_TAB-GRADE = '26' OR IT_TAB-GRADE = '27') AND IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'.

In the codition tab I have written like this:

IT_TAB-GRADE = '26'

IT_TAB-GRADE = '27'

IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'.

But this condition is not working.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks & Regards,

Soumya.

you need to pass like this:

IT_TAB-GRADE = '26'
IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'. " this needs to be repeated
OR
IT_TAB-GRADE = '27'
IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'.

Hello Jose,

Unfortunately, there's no trivial way to express directly a logical "complex" disjunction (e.g. disjunction between conjunctions) in that condition tab for a smartform as no parenthesis are allowed; therefore there's no way to force the priority by which logical operators are evaluated.

You could easily workaround by expanding the clause

(IT_TAB-GRADE = '26' OR IT_TAB-GRADE = '27') AND IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'.

in:

(IT_TAB-GRADE = '26' AND IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X') OR (IT_TAB-GRADE = '27' AND IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X').

This can be easily expressed in the condition tab as follows:

IT_TAB-GRADE = '26'

IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'.

IT_TAB-GRADE = '27'

IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Its better if you add a program lines above the condition and update a flag using IF statement for the above condition.

IF (IT_TAB-GRADE = '26' OR IT_TAB-GRADE = '27') AND IT_TAB-NO_INDC = 'X'.
l_flag = 'X'.
ENDIF.

After that in the condition just give the flag.
