What does it mean CP or NP?

[Former Member]

I have a sentance and I don't kno what does it mean...

Can somebody tell me what is NP or CP (like NE =not equal)?

Thanks in advance

********************************************************************************

IF K_ITAB1-VBTYP = 'O' AND H_K_ITAB1-NETWR NP '*#-'.

K_ITAB1-FKIMG = K_ITAB1-FKIMG * -1.

K_ITAB1-NETWR = K_ITAB1-NETWR * -1.

ELSEIF K_ITAB1-VBTYP = 'O' AND H_K_ITAB1-NETWR CP '*#-'.

K_ITAB1-NETWR = K_ITAB1-NETWR * -1.

ENDIF.

Hi,

CP ---> Matches pattern

NP ---> Does not match pattern

CP (Contains Pattern)

The logical expression

<f1> CP <f2>

is true if <f1> matches the pattern <f2>. If <f2> is of type C, you can use the following wildcards in <f2>:

for any character string: *

for any single character: +

Trailing spaces are ignored and the comparison is not case-sensitive. If the comparison is true, the system field SY-FDPOS contains the offset of <f2> in <f1> . If it is false, SY-FDPOS contains the length of <f1>.

If you want to perform a comparison on a particular character in <f2>, place the escape character # in front of it. You can use the escape character # to specify

characters in upper and lower case

the wildcard character "" (enter:#)

the wildcard character "" (enter: # )

the escape symbol itself (enter: ## )

blanks at the end of a string (enter: #___ )

NP (contains No Pattern)

The logical expression

<f1> NP <f2>

is true if <f1> does not match the pattern <f2>. In <f2>, you can use the same wildcards and escape character as for the operator CP.

Trailing spaces are ignored and the comparison is not case-sensitive. If the comparison is true, the system field SY-FDPOS contains the length of <f1>. If it is false, SY-FDPOS contains the offset of <f2> in <f1> .

Hello,

Operator Meaning 
CO Contains Only: True, if operand1 only contains characters from operand2. Upper/lower case and trailing blanks are taken into account for both operands. If operand2 is of type string and is initial, then the logical expression is false, unless operand1 is also of type string and is initial, in which case the logical expression is always true. If the result of the comparison is negative, sy-fdpos contains the offset of the first character in operand1, that is not contained in operand2. If the result of the comparison is positive, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1. 
CN Contains Not Only; True if a logical expression with CO is false, that is, if operand1 contains not only characters from operand2. sy-fdpos is set in the same way as for CO. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of the first character in operand1 that is not contained in operand2. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1. 
CA Contains Any: True, if operand1 contains at least one character from operand2. Upper/lower case and trailing blanks are taken into account for both operands. If operand1 or operand2 is of type string and initial, the logical expression is always false. If result of the comparison is positive, sy-fdpos contains the offset of the first character in operand1 that is also contained in operand2. If the result of the comparison is negative, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1. 
NA Contains Not Any: True if a logical expression with CA is false, that is if operand1 does not contain any characters from operand2. If the result of the comparison is negative, sy-fdpos contains the offset of the first character in operand1 that is also contained in operand2. If the result of the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the le of operand1. 
CS Contains String: True if the content of operand2 is contained in operand1. Upper/lower case is not taken into account, trailing blanks of the left operand are taken into account. If operand1 is of type string and initial, or of type c and contains only blank characters, the logical expression is false, unless operand2 is also of type string and initial, or of type c and only contains blank characters. In this case the logical expression is always true. If the result of the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1. If the result of the comparison is negative, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1. 
NS Contains No String: True, if a logical expression with CS is false, that is if operand1 does not contain the content of operand2. If the result of the comparison is negative, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1. 
CP Covers Pattern: True, if the content of operand1 fits the pattern in operand2. Wildcard characters can be used for forming the operand2 pattern, where "" represents any character string, and "+" represents any character. Upper/lower case is not taken into account. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1, whereby leading wildcard characters "" in operand2 are ignored if operand2 also contains other characters. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1. You can select characters in operand2 for a direct comparison by adding the escape symbol "#" before the required characters. For these characters, upper/lower case is taken into account, wildcard characters and the escape symbol itself do not receive special treatment, and trailing blanks in operands of type c are not cut off. 
NP No Pattern: True, if a logical expression with CP is false, that is, if operand1 does not fit the pattern operand2. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1, whereby leading wildcard characters "*" in operand2 are ignored if operand2 also contains other characters. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1.

CP - Contains Pattern

NP - Opposite of CP.

CP = contains pattern

NP = doesn't contains pattern

Hi,

Please refer the docu below, which is direct extract from ABAPDOCU

NP

No Pattern: True, if a logical expression with CP is false, that is, if operand1 does not fit the pattern operand2. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1, whereby leading wildcard characters "*" in operand2 are ignored if operand2 also contains other characters. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1.

CP

Covers Pattern: True, if the content of operand1 fits the pattern in operand2. Wildcard characters can be used for forming the operand pattern, where "" represents any character string, and "+" represents any character. Upper/lower case is not taken into account. If the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of operand2 in operand1, whereby leading wildcard characters "" in operand2 are ignored if operand2 also contains other characters. If the comparison is false, sy-fdpos contains the length of operand1. You can select characters in operand2 for a direct comparison by adding the escape symbol "#" before the required characters. For these characters, upper/lower case is taken into account, wildcard characters and the escape symbol itself do not receive special treatment, and trailing blanks in operands of type c are not cut off.
