My first ABAP Programme - error

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have just started ABAP programming.

I am trying to learn by reading some notes got it from my mate.

my first ever code in ABAP is as follows:

REPORT  Z95.
parameter: a type i,
            b type i.

       c=a+b.
      data c type i.
       WRITE c.

I am getting output as 0

why this programme is not adding up the value?

Please help me to move forward.

Regards,

Kid

Kid,

SCN is a good place to start.

Do not forget help.sap.com.

About your code, you may want to define the variable C before using it. Sure it runs that way? no syntax error?

Hi ABAP KID ,

Declare C before adding them.

In the space provided blank there. see below.

Thanks Phillip & Amit,

Yes I am getting the error:

Hi Amit,

Give proper spacing. Write your code as

c = a + b.

After getting the answer dont forget to close the thread.

Hi,

          You should declare a variable before using it. Here You have used 'C' before declaring.

Here its giving you zero because when you declare a variable using 'DATA' it is initialized to zero.

Make it a practice to write all your declarations at TOP of the report.

Good Day

Hi,

You should declare a variable before using it.

So correct the code as follows:

parameter: a type i,

            b type i.

data c type i.

       c = a + b.

       WRITE c.

TRY THIS CODE:

ZFIRST_PROG.

DATA: C TYPE I.

PARAMETERS: A TYPE I,

                         B TYPE I.

*---Enter your Inputs on Selection-screen parameters

*--- A as 10 and B as 20.

*----CALCULATION

C = A + B.

*---Display C variable Data

WRTE: C.
