Hi Swetha,

- is very well accepetd by ABAP. Here the issue is with the way you used the operator. try in different way:

st_tab1-field2 = st_tab1-field2 - 1.

read table it_tab into st_tab with key field1 = st_tab1-field2 .

If you dotn want to change st_tab1-field2 then use some other intermediate varible to store st_tab1-field2 - 1 value.

Hi,

if you want to do this in selection screen output. you can do it in initialization event.

After reading table also you can minus dates.

Dear Shwtha,

defile variable say l_date of type st_tab1-field2

use

l_date = st_tab1-field2 - 1

read table it_tab into st_tab with key field1 = l_date.
