Hello Nina,

ABAP syntax is of that way. Without checking individual fields by an OR condition you can achieve this. There will not be any difference in the processing speed I guess.

Thanks,

It's either

IF a = b OR a = c OR a = d.

or

CASE a.
  WHEN b OR c Or D.

Important tip: Read the ABAP help on the statements in question. They'll tell you if there is a short form, without you needed to ask. And that's got to be quicker, yes?

You should have your answer from Matt's response and your findings.

I'll spell it out.

There isn't a better way. That's why you couldn't find it.
