CASE statement

[Former Member]

Hi experts I have written code as like follow:

CASE COMM_STRUCTURE-X.

WHEN '22'.

If COMM_STRUCTURE-wbs_elemt NE ' '.

READ TABLE i_wbs WITH TABLE KEY

co_area = COMM_STRUCTURE-co_area

wbs = COMM_STRUCTURE-wbs_elemt

objvers = 'A'.

RESULT = i_wbs-prfctr.

Else.

RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-profit_ctr.

Endif.

endcase.

Now my question is can we have if statement within WHEN, inside CASE ,ENDCASE.Is the above coding is correct?

If COMM_STRUCTURE-wbs_elemt NE ' ' is correct way or

If COMM_STRUCTURE-wbs_elemt NE Initial?

Hi,

If COMM_STRUCTURE-wbs_elemt NE ' ' is correct...or u can use like If COMM_STRUCTURE-wbs_elemt NE space.. but initial can be use like IF NOT itab[] IS INITIAL..

yes, we can write IF in CASE, and ur coding is correct..

Hope it helps!!

Hi,

Have a look at the following Code hope will help you.

PARAMETERS: abc TYPE i.

CASE abc.
  WHEN '1' OR '2'.
    IF abc = 1.
      WRITE: 'One'.
    ELSE.
      WRITE: 'Two'.
    ENDIF.
  WHEN '3' or '4'.
    IF abc = 3.
      WRITE: 'Three'.
    ELSE.
      WRITE: 'Four'.
    ENDIF.
  WHEN OTHERS.
    WRITE: 'Number is not Between 1 to 4'.
ENDCASE.

Yes, off course we can use READ within IF...

Hi, Pie

Test the following Sample Code to for more Clear idea about Case, if else and Read Table

PARAMETERS: abc TYPE i.

DATA: BEGIN OF it OCCURS 10,
  no TYPE i,
  cno(5),
  END OF it.

it-no = 1. it-cno = 'One'. APPEND it.
it-no = 2. it-cno = 'Two'. APPEND it.
it-no = 3. it-cno = 'Three'. APPEND it.
it-no = 4. it-cno = 'Four'. APPEND it.

CASE abc.
  WHEN '1' OR '2'.
    IF abc = 1.
      READ TABLE it WITH KEY no = abc.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        WRITE: it-cno.
      ENDIF.
    ELSE.
      READ TABLE it WITH KEY no = abc.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        WRITE: it-cno.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
  WHEN '3' OR '4'.
    IF abc = 3.
      READ TABLE it WITH KEY no = abc.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        WRITE: it-cno.
      ENDIF.
    ELSE.
      READ TABLE it WITH KEY no = abc.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        WRITE: it-cno.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
  WHEN OTHERS.
    WRITE: 'Number is not Between 1 to 4'.
ENDCASE.

Please Reply if any Issue,

There are different ways to write things based on the situations.

You are doing correct if the data types declared are appropriate with the CASE/IF conditions.

HI,

It would be better to use INITIAL instead of ' '. Because it works depending upon the datatype.

If Datatype is I initial value is 0.

Datatype is C initial value is space.

Datatype is N initial value is 0.

You can have the If statement in WHEN. What you have written is right.
