Use of symbols rather than GT , EQ ,etc

[Former Member]

I would like to know if it is true that the use or =, < , > is better to use than GT LT EQ for performance of a SELECT clause. If so , why is this ?

I've never found this to be an issue; however, it's better to test for equality than <,>,CP,<>,etc.

Hi JJ,

Well think what standard you follow. If you check Standard SAP code many places its use

= or EQ... but may be SAP converter takes more time to process EQ than = . Not sure though.

I agree with Rob..even if it makes a difference, it would be very minimal and even unnoticable.

As a practice EQ etc is used for better readability and being in sync with CP etc...In conclusion, I do not see any major impact of using either of them.

Actually never thought about it.. But i dont think it does because SAP would have taken care of such a thing I guess..

Hi,

The answer is no, it does not make a difference. That is because, the ABAP interpretor works in such a way. It is just like #define in C (if you are aware of C- language).
