ID SUMMING • SUMMING ABAP Statement
SUMMING Short Reference
ABAP_SYNTAX_OBS SUMMING dobj.
What does it do? For every WRITE statement that after executing the statement SUMMING, which is forbidden in classes, writes the content of data object dobj onto a list of any list level, the total of all values of dobj output with WRITE since the execution of SUMMING is determined implicitly and assigned to a data object sum_dobj. The statement SUMMING declares the global data object sum_dobj with the same type as dobj. Numeric data objects can be specified for dobj. The statement SUMMING can be executed only once in a program. It can be specified within a procedure, but the declared data object sum_dobj is not local. If the content of dobj in a WRITE statement cannot be interpreted as a number or the addition produces an overflow after the statement SUMMING is executed, an uncatchable exception is raised.
Latest notes: This statement is not allowed in classes because it works with implicitly created global variables. Instead, explicit calculations can be made. ABAP_HINT_END
Example ABAP Coding
Implicit determination of minimum, maximum and total of a list of flight distances. PARAMETERS p_carrid TYPE spfli-carrid.
DATA spfli_wa TYPE spfli.
MINIMUM spfli_wa-distance. MAXIMUM spfli_wa-distance. SUMMING spfli_wa-distance.
SELECT carrid, connid, distance FROM spfli WHERE carrid = @p_carrid INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF @spfli_wa. WRITE: / spfli_wa-carrid, spfli_wa-connid, spfli_wa-distance. ENDSELECT.
ULINE. WRITE: min_spfli_wa-distance, max_spfli_wa-distance, sum_spfli_wa-distance. The program produces a syntax check warning because the names of the data objects declared using MINIMUM, MAXIMUM and SUMMING contain the invalid - character. Without using the implicit statements MINIMUM, MAXIMUM and SUMMING, the same result can be achieved using explicitly calculated help fields. ABEXA 00698 ABAP_EXAMPLE_END
