Comparing fields

Former Member — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 09:13:35 GMT

Hi,

I am getting problem with comparing blank fields in table gt_in. Syntax is this...

IF GT_IN-BSTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-BEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-FSTART = ' '

GT_IN-FEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-ASTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-AEND = ' '.

Error:

Incorrect logical expression: Comparison / SELECT-OPTION can only be followed by "AND", "OR" or ")".

Regards

You missed one AND.. use the following..

IF GT_IN-BSTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-BEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-FSTART = ' ' AND
GT_IN-FEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-ASTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-AEND = ' '.

IF ( GT_IN-BSTART = ' ' AND

GT_IN-BEND = ' ' AND

GT_IN-FSTART = ' ' and

GT_IN-FEND = ' ' AND

GT_IN-ASTART = ' ' AND

GT_IN-AEND = ' ' ).

YOu missed one AND(the one in bold).

between these 2 fields in the if condition, there is no AND operator given

GT_IN-FSTART = ' '

GT_IN-FEND = ' '

Hi Chandu,

You are missing one 'AND' inbetween the expression. Use the code below:

IF GT_IN-BSTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-BEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-FSTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-FEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-ASTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-AEND = ' '.

Hope this helps,

Pragya

Hi Chandu,

You are missing and AND statement inbetween. Just check below which added in bold letters.

IF GT_IN-BSTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-BEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-FSTART = ' ' AND

GT_IN-FEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-ASTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-AEND = ' '.

IF GT_IN-BSTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-BEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-FSTART = ' ' AND

GT_IN-FEND = ' ' AND GT_IN-ASTART = ' ' AND GT_IN-AEND = ' '.

Surely you were missing the 'AND'in your above statement the other way to check blank is to use IS INITIAL check.

IF GT_IN-BSTART IS INITIAL AND

GT_IN-BEND IS INITIAL AND

GT_IN-FSTART IS INITIAL AND

GT_IN-FEND IS INITIAL AND

GT_IN-ASTART IS INITIAL AND

GT_IN-AEND IS INTIAL.

....

ENDIF.
