Hi Balasubramanian Vijay,

ABAP does not know boolean variables as other programming languages do.

The type ABAP_BOOLEAN is just a character of length 1. X should be interpreted as TRUE and space as false.

But this is not always the case. For screen attributes like 'active' they use 1 for TRUE and 0 for false. I remember the type ABAP_BOOLEAN is defined as '-' for unknown

Regards,
