Data declaration without type

[shrgrl]

Hi all,
I'm trying to fix some issue. I have a tax invoice program for getting invoices. But amount labels are empty. I have to run a program and it involved the decleration:

DATA : lv_all.

And for run the program I must get into ELSE statement but I can't get into because lv_all is always empty.

IF lv_all IS INITIAL."for admin
...
ELSE.
...
ENDIF.

When I get into ELSE statement, my issue is solving. But I don't understand why I'm using that declaration? Please explain and let me know.

Thanks in advance, best regards.

DATA lv_all is an obsolete form of the DATA statement. I means DATA lv all TYPE c LENGTH 1.

Hello shrgrl

It's hard to say precisely without seeing the entire code. The comment "for admin suggests that the value of the lv_all variable is meant to be changed under debugger and get into ELSE statement this way.

You can run the program in debug mode, modify lv_all and proceed with ELSE.

That is not a very best practice, but not that uncommon.

Hi 3a9e4ce873a94034b33dc62b0ce600ee,
Yes, I already going with that solution. But I thought it's not good way and am doing something wrong. But it's enough to hear that from you.

Thanks again,
Best regards.
