Analog to "IN" operator for ABAP?

[Former Member]

If I have a parameter into a function module (or subroutine, for that matter), that's a string and I need to process based upon certain groups of the possible values is there a way I can check using something like an "IN" operator?

For example:

IF p_code_in EQ 'A100' OR p_code_in EQ 'A200' OR p_code_in EQ 'A300'.
    PERFORM subroutine1.
ELSE...

would become

IF p_code IN ('A100','A200','A300')
ELSE...

The only commands I know are search and find, but neither one will do what you want to do.

Maybe write up a function module that can take as input parameter a string like:

A100]A200]A300

Additionaly, p_code_in as input.

Inside the function, cycle through this string reading each value seperated by "]" and do a find on p_code_in?

This way, you just have to append to the input parameter for the function call to add additional AXXX values.

FYI: I haven't ABAP'ed in a while, maybe there is a command that will do "IN". In that case, just ignore what I wrote above.

Hello

You can use a RANGE table do the following:

DATA:
  lt_range TYPE RANGE OF p_data,
  ls_range LIKE LINE OF lt_range.

 ls_range-sign = 'I'.
 ls_range-option = 'EQ'.
 ls_range-low = 'A100'.
 APPEND ls_range to lt_range.

 ls_range-low = 'A200'.
 APPEND ls_range to lt_range.

 ls_range-low = 'A300'.
 APPEND ls_range to lt_range.

IF p_code IN lt_range....
...

How about this

IF p_code CS ('A100','A200','A300') .

CS is contain string

Shouldn't that be:

IF p_code CS 'A100' OR p_code CS 'A200' OR p_code CS 'A300'.

I think this really depends on what the original poster wanted. I think the point of him wanting to replicate the IN functionality (e.g. SQL query), is for reusability. I think that what he's looking for is not having to append to the IF statement for every new "AXXX" value.

Example:

Today it is = IF p_code CS 'A100' OR p_code CS 'A200' OR p_code CS 'A300'.

Tomorrow it may be Today it is = IF p_code CS 'A100' OR p_code CS 'A200' OR p_code CS 'A300' OR p_code CS 'A400'.

Then = IF p_code CS 'A100' OR p_code CS 'A200' OR p_code CS 'A300' OR p_code CS 'A400' OR p_code CS 'A500'.

You get the idea.

I think that to truely replicate a "IN" functionality, a function module is needed. This way, you can simply append the new AXXX value into the input parameter and be done with it.

E.g.

Today it is = call new_function @conditionstring="A100;A200;A300"

Tomorrow = call new_function @conditionstring="A100;A200;A300;A400"

More time pass = call new_function @conditionstring="A100;A200;A300;A400;A500"

A lot more reusable.
