Case statement query

[Former Member]

Hi,

In a case statement having the code sample below,

CAse v_xausz.

when '1'.

p_xausz = '2'.

when others.

p_xausz = '1'.

endcase.

if upon entering this case, v_xausz is blank, will it process the when others statement?

Thanks!

Yes, it will go to the OTHERS case.

I was also assuming that that must be the case, however it failed me.

We have that codes inside a window in a sapscript. and we used the below codes to put value to v_xausz.

p_xausz in this case is blank upon entering the FM.

CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_SYMBOL_SETVALUE'

EXPORTING

name = v_xausz

value = p_xausz

value_length = 15

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

Hi Mark, Can you check the data type of the variable, is it to be treated as text or integer?

[Former Member]

Hi Eswar,

the variable is treated as a text....

v_xausz is defaulted as &xausz&...

Thanks a lot!

To test, can you try changing as below and see if it can make any difference:

CASE v_xausz.
WHEN '1'.
  p_xausz = '2'.
WHEN space.
  p_xausz = '1'.
WHEN others.
  p_xausz = '1'.
ENDCASE.

Thanks Eswar!

Does this mean that the space value is not covered under the when others condition?

Thanks a lot!

Normally it should work, but am just wondering if there is any problem w.r.t conversion and comparision. I do remember data type plays an important role. When we have data type criteria the length can be considered as well. Btw, how did the system react when you have specified SPACE in case statement?

Hi Eswar,

It still didnt worked...

/: WHEN ' '.

/: IF &V_GLSPLT& EQ 'X'.

HL STATEMENT &v_indicator&

/: ELSE.

LF ,,STATEMENT

/: ENDIF.

I added the above codes in the case statement inside a variable window in the sapscript... but it still not working...

[Former Member]

Do you think the problem lies with this FM?

CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_SYMBOL_SETVALUE'

EXPORTING

name = v_xausz

value = p_xausz

value_length = 15

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

Will it assign a value to v_xausz even if p_xausz is blank?

Thanks a lot for your time! Really appreaciate it...

hi,

yes it works.............if not then try

CAse v_xausz.

when '1'.
p_xausz = '2'.
when others.
p_xausz = '1'.
when space .
p_xausz = '1'.
endcase.
