Hi,

if you want to mark something, ry to use TYPE C.

DATA flag TYPE C.

It will works.

Flag is a point to verify, you mark that point and then check with an if.

A flag is basically a yes/no indicator. When you give it the value 'X', it means "yes". When the value is blank, it means "no". It needs to be defined as type C (for character). Type F is for floating point numbers. Or you can simply define it like this:

DATA flag(1).

This will create a 1-character field. I hope this helps.

To expand a little on April's explanation, a "flag" is an indicator as to the state of something - it will depend on your local requirement as to how it is used. For example, in answer to your question, you could code a test as follows:

data:
  l_flag        type f.  "float

case sy-uname.
  when 'BATCH'  "if current user is batch...
    or 'BATCHJOB'. "or batchjob   
    l_flag = 1.
  when 'FRED'.
    l_flag = 2.
endif.
....
if l_flag is initial.  "not set to anything
  message i398(00) with 'Unauthorised access' space space space.
endif.

For "boolean" tests, then the more common approach is to have a char 1 field (like sap_bool for example) that you have a value of "X" or space in, for example:

data:
  l_flag        type sap_bool.  "char 1
case sy-uname.
  when 'BATCH'  "if current user is batch...
    or 'BATCHJOB'. "or batchjob   
    l_flag = 'X'
  when 'FRED'.
    l_flag = 'X'.
endif.
....
if l_flag is initial.  "not set to anything
  message i398(00) with 'Unauthorised access' space space space.
endif.

Dear friend,

Do this,

DATA: FLAG TYPE C.

IF T_HOLD-CMGST = 'B' OR

T_HOLD-CMGST = 'C' .

T_HOLD-CMGST = 'YES' .

FLAG = 'X' .

ENDIF .
