Hi all,

DATA: text TYPE string,

IF text CO =  ' @#$%^&*()_+-=<>?:"{}|[]\; '.

 ELSE.
 Message error   
ENDIF.

I want to include ' in the IF condition, Please Suggest.

Hi,

Use the escape character `` to represent apostrophe


IF text CO =  ' @#$%^&*()_+-=?:"{}|[]\;`` '.
 
 ELSE.
 Message error   
ENDIF.

Check this

DATA: text type string value ''''.

IF text CO  ' @#$%^&*()_+-=?:"{}|[]\; '' '.
 
 ELSE.
 Message error.
ENDIF.

write:/ text.

Remove '=' sign.

IF text CO '@#$%^&*()_+-=?:"{}|[]\;'.

if text co `'`.

endif.

else.

endif.

Hello,

I think the error may be because you are using '=' with CO operator.

And just FYI, for apostrophe(') you have to use an escape character which is an apostrohe(') itself as suggested by Thomas.

BTW i removed '=' from your code & it compiled

DATA: V_TEXT TYPE STRING.

IF V_TEXT CO ' @#$%^&*()_+-=?:"{}|[]\; '.
ELSE.
*  MESSAGE ERROR
ENDIF.

BR,
