IF statement on datatype CHAR

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have made a program for merge of data in a table. However, this is conditioned and I have 3 IF statements as seen below:

IF wa2_grmres-valid_from_date NE v_next_date.

IF wa2_grmres-cpmap_type NE v_next_mapt.

IF wa2_grmres-grm_int_cpgrp_id NS v_next_grmcp.

The 2 first works fine but the third is not working as it does not execute the code when it is true.

The wa2_grmres-grm_int_cpgrp_id field is defined as CHAR 12. So is the variable v_next_grmcp.

When debugging the values for the 2 fields are correctly different. However, the if statement is ignored. Am I missing something here ?

Hi,

For the last IF try this

IF wa2_grmres-grm_int_cpgrp_id NE v_next_grmcp.

HI,

Is the control coming to the if condition ?

Why dont you try with

IF wa2_grmres-grm_int_cpgrp_id NE v_next_grmcp.

Hi,

I did try NE as condition without luck. I come to the IF block of statements and then it goes on to my endloop and proceeds with the next record as nothing had happended. It should actually enter the IF block and execute as I have 2 different values in the fields.

Hi,

Use condense statement before the IF statement and see.

condense : wa2_grmres-grm_int_cpgrp_id ,
                   v_next_grmcp.

IF wa2_grmres-grm_int_cpgrp_id NE v_next_grmcp

HI,

Did you check in debug what are the value in the two variable ? i.e wa2_grmres-grm_int_cpgrp_id v_next_grmcp ?

Hi,

Check the value of both in debugging mode when the if condition is reached.

If the leading zeros is the problem, then you can use pack/unpack accordingly before the condition to make sure the value are checked properly.

[Former Member]

Hi,

The values to be compared are different; that is seen in the debugger.

I will try the condense and come back. Thanks.

[Former Member]

No, it made no difference to condense. Hmmmm.

[former_member404244]

Hi,

Can you please paste the values for both the variables which you are getting in debug mode.

Regards,

Nagaraj

[Former Member]

Yes, here they are:

WA2_GRMRES-GRM_INT_CPGRP_ID Value = B00018687074

V_NEXT_GRMCP Value = B00000191033

Did you read the F1 documentation on NS: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fc/eb3516358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm] ?

There is an example which explains how the string operators behave. Maybe that should throw some light

Hi

Check your declarationns once again.

As, the test program does end-up giving out 'Not equal'.

DATA: v_c1 TYPE char12,

v_c2 TYPE char12.

START-OF-SELECTION.

v_c1 = 'B00018687074'.

v_c2 = 'B00000191033'.

IF v_c1 NE v_c2.

WRITE:/ 'Not equal', v_c1, v_c2.

ELSE.

WRITE:/ 'equal', v_c1, v_c2.

ENDIF.

They are both defined as CHAR12.

Hi Peter,

Are you sure that "IF wa2_grmres-cpmap_type NE v_next_mapt." is true, that is the values of the variables in the condition are different?

zc1crd_grm_grmap_t is a table type of the db table,

zc1_int_cparty_id is a data element of char 12.

I have debugged and the 2 values were different before entering the IF-clause.

Hi,

What is this structure (zc1crd_grm_grmap_s) having fields.

the field (grm_int_cpgrp_id) in the structre (zc1crd_grm_grmap_s ) have the same data type as of v_next_grmcp .

One more thing you can do is the declaration of v_next_grmcp you can change like this

data :v_next_grmcp like zc1crd_grm_grmap_s-grm_int_cpgrp_id .

Regards,

Nagaraj

The fields of the structure is matching the db table fields.

The datatype is CHAR12.

I will try the suggested declaration.

Peter

[Former Member]

Hi

Okay. Now, how are these 2 declared?

zc1crd_grm_grmap_t, zc1_int_cparty_id
