Is this a correct if.. else.. statement using in Call Function?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is this a correct way by using IF and ELSE statement to call the function call?

IF SY-LANGU = 'N'.

l_header = 'Vennligst '(007).

l_txtques = 'Er du sikker '(008).

ELSEIF SY-LANGU = 'E'.

l_header = 'PLEASE SELECT REASON'(006).

l_txtques = 'Are you sure want to enter reason code?'(004).

ENDIF.

DO.

CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_DECIDE_LIST'

EXPORTING

mark_flag = ' '

mark_max = 1

start_col = 80

start_row = 5

textline1 = l_header

titel = 'REASON FOR CHANGE'(002)

IMPORTING

answer = l_ans

TABLES

t_spopli = i_spopli

EXCEPTIONS

not_enough_answers = 1

too_much_answers = 2

too_much_marks = 3

OTHERS = 4.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Alice

It will work and syntactically it is correct but better would be something like:

*IF SY-LANGU = 'N'.
 l_header = 'Vennligst '(007).
 l_txtques = 'Er du sikker '(008).
 
*ELSEIF SY-LANGU = 'E'.
* l_header = 'PLEASE SELECT REASON'(006).
* l_txtques = 'Are you sure want to enter reason code?'(004).
* ENDIF.

Then translate the texts 007 and 008 into language 'N' and 'E'. You can do that in transaction SE38 with 'Goto -> Translation'.

The benefit is cleaner, shorter coding and the ability to possibly translate into more languages winthout changing the coding.

Hi Jack

what do I need to include in the temporary worklist after I selected SE38 -> Goto -> translation ?

Thanks.

Hi, when you go to translation you translate texts from the original langauge into the required languages. So you need to translate to 'E' ('EN') and 'N' ('NL') for texts 007 and 008.

Not sure what 2 languages you need here. 'N' is the SAP internal language code length 1 for 'NL' (Dutch). But you might need 'O' here. 'O' is the SAP internal language code length 1 for 'NO' (Norwegian).

Hi.,

SY-LANGU will return 2 char ., ie if logon language is English it will return EN not E.,

so u have to use

IF SY-LANGU = 'EN'.

hope this helps u.,

Thanks & Regards
