IF that does not work

IF eq '#' does not work!

i debug and i can see the value # in the variable but never do the next line!

is a char type or ?

DATA:

linea(20),

zlineas type n.

zlineas = STRLEN( linea ).

if zlineas NE 0.

zlineas = zlineas - 1.

describe field linea+zlineas(1) type zchar.

move linea+zlineas(1) TO zchar.
if not is numeric zchar.

<b> if linea+zlineas(1) = '#'.</b>

linea = linea(zlineas).

endif.

Try declaring a variable and compare

constants : c_hash type c value '#'.

Use C_hash for comparison.

I am assuming that you are seeing this '#' in debugging, not an actual character in that string. It may be some special character like a tab or new line character.

the problem is that both are char type (1).

there is no space for another weird character..

HI Javier

I guess the '#' you see in debugging is End of Line Character.

Please try with below declarations and check if this works for you:

data: crlf(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
         newline(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>new_line.

if <b>linea+zlines(1) = crlf or linea+zlines(1) = newline</b>.
  linea = linea(zlineas).
endif.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards
