Data load? Did it pass a syntax check?

Anyway, maybe this will help:

DATA: create_date              TYPE sy-datum,
      update_date              TYPE sy-datum,
      number_of_days_closed(4) TYPE c,
      alert_close_flag(1)      TYPE c,
      result                   LIKE number_of_days_closed.

IF alert_close_flag EQ 'Y'.
  number_of_days_closed = update_date - create_date .
ELSE.
  CLEAR number_of_days_closed.
ENDIF.

result = number_of_days_closed.

It passed a syntax check with:

alert close flag (1) TYPE C .
IF alert cloase flag EQ 'Y'.

?

Anyway, glad to help. Close the thread if your question is answered.

actually I wrote those 2 line in general , I mean just for the sake of proper understanding of feilds , but actually they are properly named InfoObjects.

Thanks a lot .

OK - anyway, you should stick with CLEAR. If you put a space into the field and then change the data type, you may run into problems. CLEAR (without any additions) put initial values for any data type into the field.

Replace the work 'NULL' by ' '.
