Incrementing Counter

Former Member — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 16:39:46 GMT

Hi All,

I declared gv_count as const.

DATA: gv_count type c value 1,

and in the if stmt, I incremented it

gv_count = gv_count + 1.

It is incrementing gv_count upto 9 properly, but 9 + 1 it is taking as '*' instead of 10.

Can you please help me, why it is happening like this.

Thank you

Veni.

HI,

-->

DATA: gv_count(5) type c value 1,

( If you don't give a length, the default lenght is one so after '9' the field isn't large enough to pu '10' ! )

But I suggest you to declare like an integer :

DATA: gv_count type i value 1,

Hi,

Because you have a character data type which is of length 1..

Change it to INT4.

DATA: gv_count type INT4.

Thanks,

Hi,

In your data declaration, gv_count is of type C and length 1. Therefore, after 9, it is not taking 10. So, declare the variable of more length.

DATA : gv_count(3) TYPE C VALUE '1'.

Also, if you want to use it as a counter, why are u declaring it of type C, declare it of type I.

DATA : gv_count TYPE i VALUE '1'.

Reward points if the answeR is helpful.

Hi Veni,

Please try to declare like this.

DATA: gv_count type i value 1.

DATA: gv_count type n value 1.
