*LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO has same as BBP_VERSION_NO

*BBP_VERSION_NO is CHAR08

MOVE LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO TO LV_VERSION1.

IF LV_VERSION1 = 1.

MOVE '1' TO LV_VERSION .

ELSEIF LV_VERSION1 = ' '.

MOVE ' ' TO LV_VERSION.

ELSEIF LV_VERSION1 > 1.

LV_VERSION = LV_VERSION1 - 1.

Try the below opt.

IF LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO = '1'.

LV_VERSION = 1.

ELSEif LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO EQ ' '.

LV_VERSION = ' '.

ELSEIF LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO > 1.

LV_VERSION = LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO - 1.

ELSE.

LV_VERSION = LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO.

ENDIF.

I tried your code (defining lv_version as type c, length 😎 and it worked for me without any dumps. Set a break point at your MOVE LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO statement and then debug step by step, looking at the field contents along the way to see exactly what is causing the dump. It's possible that your field has unexpected contents (for instance, a letter in the VERSION_NO field would cause a dump). I hope this helps.

Use the below code-->

SHIFT LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.

IF LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO = '1'.

MOVE '1' TO LV_VERSION .

ELSEIF LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO = ' '.

MOVE ' ' TO LV_VERSION.

ELSEIF LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO CA 'C*'.

MOVE LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO TO LV_VERSION.

ELSE. "IF LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO > '1'.

LV_VERSION = LS_VERSION-VERSION_NO - 1.

ENDIF.
