Hi,

In that if condition better to write another IF condition.

I mean nested if.

Regards and Best wishes.

/: IF &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'FI' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'DE' OR

/: &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'AT' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'CY' OR

/: endif

suppose these are the two lines of the condition,but only the lands in the first line of if conditin are working,but in the second line not working.

Hi Anil,

There is one other option is well in SAP script. Pls follow the steps:

1. On the same editor scrren follow the path to put whole condition in one line:

a. Put the cursor on the line which you wud like to extend, then (In main menu) Edit -> Page Left/Right -.

Now here your are in right side of the editor, You can put remaining statement here.

Pls tell me if it is not clear.

Hi,

I think there are two more options.

1. If whole editor line is full than from next line put the tage format = (Extended Line), ang put the condition in this line.

2. Follow the path: double click on window -> Click on Text Element... Now you will be at editor page. So do not change the editor here. Just put your code on that page. Try this.

Hi anil,

I know your problem and you've to use one of the already mentioned workarounds, but I've another hint. Instead of

/: IF &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'FI' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'DE' OR

/: &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'AT' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'CY'

/: ENDIF

write this

/: DEFINE &L& = &VBDKR-LAND1&

/: IF &L& = 'FI' OR &L& = 'DE' OR &L& = 'AT' OR &L& = 'CY'

/: ENDIF

With the little trick to use a shorter symbol for the original symbol you'll get a shorter IF-Statement!

Hello,

Try Writing a perform subroutine in external program, and perform the validations needed.

Based on the results, take further action.

Hope this helps.

Dear Anil,

I think there is some misunderstanding between you and us..

I think all the suggested solutions (i think there were 4 different: many IFs, CASE, PERFORM, shifting page...) will work correctly, just try any of them and you will see

Hi Anil,

Try do what Kiran suggested, you can achieve it via following statements:

/: IF &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'FI' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'DE'

/: do_what_you_want

/: ELSE

/: IF &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'AT' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'CY'

/: do_what_you_want

/: ENDIF

/: ENDIF

If you have only ORs in your conditional statement it is quite easy to implement it (one example solution is written above).

The problem may occur when you will have more complicated condition.In such case it is easier to call subroutine and make all conditions and calculations outside the sapscript, and return necessary data back to the form.

Kind regards,

Hi,

/: IF &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'FI' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'DE' OR

/: &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'AT' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'CY' OR

/: &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'CZ' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'DK' OR

/: &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'EE' OR &VBDKR-LAND1& = 'ES'

FT: SOME TEXT

/: ELSE

FT: SOME TEXT

/: ENDIF.

This is my condition.so for these lands the footer should display in scripts else it should priint another.

sooo for me the lands in ist line of the IF condition is working form 2nd line lands are not working .

sooo kindly help me in this plz.

Thank you,

Anil.

Hi,

I would suggest the following solution:

/: CASE &VBDKR-LAND1&
/: WHEN 'FI'
FT: SOME TEXT
/: WHEN 'DE'
FT: SOME TEXT
/: WHEN 'AT'
FT: SOME TEXT
/: WHEN 'CY'
FT: SOME TEXT
/: WHEN 'CZ'
FT: SOME TEXT
..... the same for each country
/: WHEN OTHERS
FT: SOME OTHER TEXT
/: ENDCASE

Kind regards,

Hi,

The answer u have given is correct if there are diff texts for diff lands,but for me same footer has to be printed for all the lands in that if condition.sooo i cant use the case ,plz try again.

thank you.

[former_member205763]

goto edit and select shift left/right and enter conditions, i guess this way ur two conditions will be accomodated in each line for others if nothing is working then split the conditions like.

IF <condiotion>

Endif.

If <condition>

Endif.

though not a good practice but if nothing else is working use this

Or u can use a perform check the condition in perform and send back a flag.

chekc this flag to print ur texts

Hi,

I don't know how long is your footer text, but you can/and should add the same footer text for each WHEN branch, except WHEN OTHERS. It is a redundant solution, but it's gonna work correctly,

Kind regards,

hi kartik,

plz try to understand this.

see i have footer text which has to be printed only for the lands which are mentioned in the IF condition soo i cant use the case and nested if ,ok.soo for all the lands in if condition the footer text is same soo nested if and case conditions are useless.

plz try once.

thank you.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Pls try the solution given above. It will work.

Lokesh...

[former_member205763]

well u can use case with same footer text in all suitable cases.

If u dont wanna use this solution then better create a subroutine use ur if condition inside this subroutine and send back a flag.

in ur script check that if flag EQ X print ur text else not.

[former_member205763]

You can not increase any further, better go for calling a subroutine in your script
