string comparing with criterias

Former Member — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 20:23:48 GMT

Dear Abap Experts,

I am facing to the following problem.

When I compare those below shown strings, the check statement

is ok, while both strings are similar.

But sometimes the variable lv_kum-co_code can have

the value * (Asterisk) for all company codes. The check should retrieve OK also in such cases.

The string lv_kum-co_code can be * or a company code . Both situation may occur.

How can I achieve this requirement.

CHECK: lv_item-be_co_code CP lv_kum-co_code.

Kindly Regards

Marco

you can simply use

CHECK: lv_item-be_co_code CP lv_kum-co_code or lv_item-be_co_code = '*'.

Do CHECK only, when unequal to asterisk ...

if  lv_kum-co_code NE '*'.
  CHECK: lv_item-be_co_code CP lv_kum-co_code.
endif.
