Sapscript ignores 'IF'-Command

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have the problem that sapscript ignores the IF/Else-Statement.

Example:

/: IF &flag& = 'X'

/: DEFINE &var& = 'YES'

/: ENDIF

• &var&

When I start the form in debug-mode I can see the '/:' at IF/ENDIF. Then, it is replaced by a '/(' and the Command is interpretetd as an Output-Text. The DEFINE is ok! I see the '/:'.

What's wrong? Or is it only possible to have Text-Output between IF/ENDIF?

Thx.

Hi,

Define &Var& before the if condition. Not in IF condition. Check out this one.

/: DEFINE &var& = 'YES'.

/: IF &flag& = 'X'

• &var&

/: ENDIF

Yes,

between IF and ENDIF you will only output text lines. If you want to have similar program logic working, then

- do this in the print program

or if the print program is a SAP standard then

- PERFORM (calling ABAP subroutines)

How to use the PERFORM in SAPscript, please see the help information on SAP help portal

Thanks. That will make the work harder but solve my problem.
