counter ++ does not work

any other way to assign it besides count = count + 1 ?

Hi,

What is wrong with this code?

data: count type i.

loop at itab.
  count = count + 1.
endloop.

Please paste your code ....

nothing wrong

just wondering if there is another way to do it

No, that is the way to code unlike C language. You can use statements like ADD 1 TO counter.

Hi Megan, there is nothing like that in ABAP as of yet. But you can simulate it using a macro. AGain the use of special characters such as ++ is not suggested(it will give a syntax warning).

report zrich_0001 .


data: counter type i.


define counter++.
  counter = counter + 1.
end-of-definition.


do 10 times.

   counter++.

enddo.


write:/ counter.

Hi,

data: begin of numbers,
        one   type i value 1,
        two   type i value 1,
      end   of numbers,
      counter type i.

add numbers-one then  numbers-two until numbers-two to counter.
