Obsolete statement

Former Member — Thu, 11 May 2006 10:48:18 GMT

Hi friends,

I have used the statement:

"ON CHANGE OF........ENDON." in my program.

during extended check in program.... this satement is showing as obsolete statement error.

The error is as follows:

" The current ABAP command is obsolete and problematic, especially so in ABAP

Objects

"ON CHANGE OF ... ENDON" is not supported in the OO context."

Can you give any way to get rid of this? What can i use instead of this statement?

As this is very necessary in my program. I am not finding any solution.

Please help me out....

Thanks,

Chinmay

Hi Chinmay,

You can use At New. But for this it would be better if that field is the first field in the internal table.

on change of is obsolete statement so u r getting this message,

use at new to get rid of this.

or else if at new doesnot solve ur problem,

see the following

The pseudo control structure ON CHANGE OF - ENDON is not allowed in ABAP Objects.

Error message in ABAP Objects if the following syntax is used:

ON CHANGE OF f.

...

ENDON.

Correct syntax:

DATA g LIKE f.

IF f <> g.

...

g = f.

ENDIF.

Reason:

A global invisible work field over which the program has no control is created internally. A separate work field should be declared and processed using the IF control structure.

Award points if helpful.

Hi Chinmay

Dont use ON change of because SAP is not supporting this in later versions.

Instead of On change you can use at new and end at

It will work correctly.
