IF ( P_FILE CP 'Balances_DMTHMPLAN' ) OR

( P_FILECP 'Balances_VMTHMPLAN' ).

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

You have 2 options.

IF ( P_FILE CS 'Balances_DMTHMPLAN' )
OR  ( P_FILE CS 'Balances_VMTHMPLAN' ).
*>>> Do Something
ELSE.
  MESSAGE E000 WITH TEXT-013 .
ENDIF.

  SEARCH  P_FILE for 'Balances_DMTHMPLAN'.
  if sy-subrc NE 0.
    SEARCH  P_FILECP for 'Balances_VMTHMPLAN'.
    if sy-subrc NE 0.
      MESSAGE E000 WITH TEXT-013 .
    else.
*    Do something
    endif.
  else.
*    Do something
    endif.

i think you are checking the reverse condition....you should throw the error if the if statement fails....and i feel there is no need to check sy-subrc after if statement

IF ( p_file CP 'Balances_DMTHMPLAN' ) OR

( p_file CP 'Balances_VMTHMPLAN' ).

*<do your processing here>

else.

MESSAGE e000 WITH text-013 .

ENDIF.

IF ( P_FILE CP 'Balances_DMTHMPLAN' ) OR

( P_FILECP 'Balances_VMTHMPLAN' ).

IF SY-SUBRC 0. "NO NEED FOR THIS.

MESSAGE E000 WITH TEXT-013 . ENDIF.

ENDIF.

What does your p_file look like because the expression looks ok, but remember case sensitive!!!
