if end if inside the case end -case

[vieet]

Hi Gurus, 

   Hope all are doing good. I have faced something weird in debugging which is what I have not expeccted. I am using IF ENDIF inside the CASE ENDCASE. However I can see the if condition inside the case endcase is not working.

here is the screenshot 

I am using in PBO of screen.

You can see from the above screenshot, when sy-ucomm = 'GET_G' , it has to check if condition ztwdate field value . If it is 0 or initial, it should skip the if clause. 

We can see in debugging that WA_DATA-ztwdate  is initial, but still it is going inside if loop .

Any idea why it is happening.  ?

I am using data type DATS.

Kindly please help me as I was already late in fixing the issue.

Weird title, it's not a problem of IF ENDIF - CASE ENDCASE, it's a problem of why a conditional expression is evaluated true (false expected). Be careful to use an adequate question title. It's not initial because the data type is not D or not N length 8. I guess you have defined it C length 8 because in that case IS INITIAL is equivalent to all characters are spaces.

I am using DATS data type.(it will capture the sy-datum value in it as per logic)....(added new image ) .Is there any way I can write validation inside CASE ENDCASE. I have to check if the value is available or not .

You're going in the wrong direction. You should not look at the table in SE11, but instead look at the variable type in the debugger.
