Simple ABAP Conditions

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Please I need your help. This is quite confusing. My condition is quite simple, but I just don't know why it still gets through even though it did not satisfy the parameters. Below is the sample condition.

IF p0001-btrtl = '1000' OR p0001-btrtl BETWEEN '2000' AND '2999'.

IF p0001-kostl in p_rccode.

MOVE p0001-kostl TO stab-kostl.

move: 1 to ok1.

ENDIF.

ELSEIF p0001-btrtl in p_btrtl.

move: 1 to ok1.

concatenate '0000000' p0001-btrtl into stab-kostl.

condense stab-kostl.

ENDIF.

The problem here is that p0001-btrtl's value is '210', but still the program gets through the 1st condition. Please, can anyone explain why this is happening. Hope you could help me with my dilemma. Thank you so much.

Hi,

Change your code in a way

IF ( p0001-btrtl = '1000' ) OR ( p0001-btrtl BETWEEN '2000' AND '2999' ).

IF p0001-kostl in p_rccode.

MOVE p0001-kostl TO stab-kostl.

move: 1 to ok1.

ENDIF.

ELSEIF p0001-btrtl in p_btrtl.

move: 1 to ok1.

concatenate '0000000' p0001-btrtl into stab-kostl.

condense stab-kostl.

ENDIF.

HI Anna,

In alphabetic sequence 210 falls in between 2000 ans 3000.

You can use a numeric field to get the required result.

<b>data: v_numc(4) type n.

v_numc = p0001-btrtl.</b>

IF p0001-btrtl = '1000' OR <b>v_numc</b> BETWEEN '2000' AND '2999'.

IF p0001-kostl in p_rccode.

MOVE p0001-kostl TO stab-kostl.

move: 1 to ok1.

ENDIF.

ELSEIF p0001-btrtl in p_btrtl.

move: 1 to ok1.

concatenate '0000000' p0001-btrtl into stab-kostl.

condense stab-kostl.

ENDIF.

P.S: check this sample program to demonstrate the same

data: v_char(4) type n value '210'.

if v_char between '2000' and '3000'.

Write:/ 'Lies'.

else.

write:/ 'Doesnt fall'.

endif.

output: 'Doesnt fall'

Hi,

p0001-btrtl is a char4 element so,

if the value in p0001-btrtl is '210_' , where '_' is a space is normal that abap

consider this string inside '2000' and '2999', because you are not comparing

numbers, but characters.

If the value in p0001-btrtl is '_210' then ...i don't know !!!

Best Regards,
