Q: What does this statement do?

Posted on Aug 14, 2009 at 07:25 AM 18 Views

Hi Experts,

I have come across the following code (in a SAP standard function module):

F 1 = 2. MESSAGE E008(R3). ENDIF.

Can somebody please explain what this does? As I see it 1 is never equal to 2, so this if-statement is never true, hence I do not see the point of having it...

Thank you in advance,

Mikael

    Hello Mikael,

    This gives a reference as to where the message E008 of Message Class R3 is being used.

    SAP uses this cheeky trick to keep track where this message is being used.

    BR,

    Hi Mikael Kilåker ,

    This type of comment is being used when we are developing smart forms, in that case if we need to comment some text box then in condition tab we used to put 1 = 2, which is never possible and that is commented.

    So its totally upto the developer if he even uses it in normal coding.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    If 1 = 2.

    msg..........

    endif.

    If the condition is true then only it will show that message in else part you should give some message.

    That condition is useless. No use in the progarm,

    Did u check out declaration part? wheather macros are defind?

    regards,

    pravin
