Wrong logical expression

Former Member — Mon, 19 May 2008 14:06:05 GMT

Hi,

The following code is wrong and I want to know if it's possible to correct it without using another variable:

IF var1 < ( sy-datum + 15 ).

var2 = 1.

ELSEIF var1 > ( sy-datum + 15 ) AND var1 < ( sy-datum + 30 ).

var2 = 2.

ENDIF.

The ABAP syntax checking doesn't allow the logical expression with the "+"... Is not possible or simply I don't know how to do that?

I know that I can do something like that:

var3 = sy-datum + 15.

But I don't want that solution if it's possible

Sometimes ABAP sux.

Inside an if statement, you can use only logical expressions.

Sorry, I expect my answer was "helpful"

You have to store Sy-datum + 15 in a different variable.

and then use it in the logical expression.

For older version of SAP this is the only option. I thing the newest version of netweaver allows you to do what you want to do

Thanks Sergi,

Yes, your answer is helpful, it confirmed my suspects about that's not possible in abap...

Hi Aparna,

I'm programming in a SAP 6.2 Version and it doesn't allow to do that yet.
