contains not only

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a field with value '----' or '--+'. I want to check the values of the field with:

IF field cn '+-'.
*go on with further process.
ENDIF.

what I want to have is that only values are consider which have not only '+-' as field value.

the problem is that he ignore the cn expression, so if my field has a value of '-' it jumps in the if expression?

Any idea how to solve this problem?

thanks a much.

Not able to understand correctly, what you requirement is, but it appears to be a string evaluation.

Use the following:

IF field cn '+-'.

• do nothing

else.

*go on with further process.

ENDIF.

If you want specific to '+-' selections, use SEARCH and sy-fdpos as well.

Hello Santosh,

for better understanding an example:

I have 1 field with several values and an internal table itab:

field = 'abc+'

field = '--'

field = '+'

so when I execute the if expression

if field cn '+-'.
*add field to my internal table.
endif.

so after the 3 fieldvalues in my table I would like to have only a row with value 'abc' as this value not only contains '' or '-'.

So where is the problem?

field = 'abc+'

Here condition is TRUE, because operand1 contains abc apart from + and -

field = '--'

Here condition is FALSE, as operand1 contains only characters + and -

field = '+'

Here condistion is FALSE too, as operand1 contains only character +

Your condition will pass only first case, so you already have the solution.

The problem is that he pass all 3 cases so in my table I have all 3 values.

You have declared your fieds as character with a length greater than 4 (or 1) and so it is looking at the trailing spaces. Declare your fields as string.
