Hi hemal,

1. Flag is nothing but a variable of just one character.

It can have value X or space

to denote Yes or no

True of false.

2. eg.

data : foundflag type c.

If some condition is true.

foundflag = 'X'.

endif.

if foundflag = 'X'.

*----- code.

endif.

Hi,

FLAG is a Single charecter field which we will declare the ABAP code .

DATA: FLAG. " a Single Charecter field.

Lets say you want to check a YES or NO situvation, then this will be very usefull, you can check this FLAG is X or SPACE, based on this we can write the Program

Hi...

Flag is nothing but a variable to Store values like TRUE or FALSE.

Generally we use a SINGLE CHAR field as a FLAG (' ' for False and 'X' for True)

Data : v_flag type c.

IF v_flag = 'X'.

ENDIF.

Hi,

FLag could be a single character variable of type C. You can use flag for any purpose if you want to store some sort of counter. Flag is not mandatory for call transaction. Flag is generally a temp variable defined withn the program to check the status if its TRUE or FLASE.

you declare like this.

data : flag(1) type c.
