Video Lesson 4.9: ABAP Logical Expressions

This lesson shows some of the most common used logical expressions like AND, OR and IF.

Logical Expressions

  • When writing application programs, you often need to formulate conditions.
  • These are used mostly to control the flow of the program, or to decide whether to exit a processing block.
  • You formulate a condition using logical expressions. A logical condition can be either true or false.

Combining Several Logical Expressions (AND, OR)

  • To combine several logical expressions together in one single expression which is true only if all of the component expressions are true, link the expressions with AND.
  • To combine several logical expressions together in one single expression which is true if at least one of the component expressions is true, link the expressions with OR.
  • To negate the result of a logical expression, you can precede it with the NOT operator. → SAP VIDEO
