BC400 Lesson: Working with EIementary Data Objects

Exercise 5: Basic ABAP Statements

Exercise Objectives
AIter completing this exercise, you will be able to:
DeIine elementary data objects
Assign values
Implement conditional branching
PerIorm calculations
Business ExampIe
You are to create a simple ABAP program Ior the Iour basic calculation types.
You must be able to enter the values and the arithmetic operator on a selection
screen. Display the result in a list.
Task 1:
Create program
1. Create the executable program ZBC400_##_COMPUTE without a 'TOP
include.
Task 2:
DeIine input parameters (implicit deIinition oI the selection screen).
1. DeIine the input parameters Ior two integer values (name suggestion:
paint1, paint2) and an arithmetic operator (name suggestion: paop).
Task 3:
Execute calculations and set up the list output.
1. Additionally, deIine an elementary data object Ior the result; type: Packed
number with two decimal places (name suggestion: result).
2. Execute the calculation dependent on the speciIied arithmetic operator.
Use the CASE statement Ior a branch.
3. Display the result in a list.
Task 4:
Catch errors.
1. Display an error message on the list iI the user has speciIied an invalid
arithmetic operator.

Unit 4: Basic ABAP Language EIements BC400
Use the IF statement Ior checking.
2. Display an error message on the list iI the user tries to divide by zero.
Hint: In a later lesson you will learn how to implement the catching
oI these errors with a more 'elegant user dialog.

Task 1:
Create program
1. Create the executable program ZBC400_##_COMPUTE without a 'TOP
include.
a) Carry out this step as usual.
Task 2:
DeIine input parameters (implicit deIinition oI the selection screen).
