IF expression solving

[Former Member]

Do you know if this expression is written in Sap script or another language?

If so, what does this expression ask for?

AC = Account

CLASS=P = P&L accounts

FL = Flow

DP = Data entry period

PE = Period

Y99= year to date

{AC in (CLASS=P) ; FL=PER} = IF([DP=+0.01] ; {FL=Y99 ; DP=+0+00 ; PE=+0+00}- {FL=Y99 ; DP=+0-01 ; PE=+0-01})

SAP Script is not a programming language, it's an old technology for printed forms.

This is not ABAP for sure. 🙂 The code looks somewhat Java-esque but really could be anything. Rather odd IF statement...

Why do you believe this is an SAP language? Where did you find this?

Thank you for the answer.

It is a case for an interview. The company has a SAP ERP-system so I thought it was linked to that.

You were asked in an interview what this expression does? What position was the interview for?

I put the expression into google and came up with this
