CASE inside a SELECT (available soon)
2015-07-20
Get ready because you’ll soon be running into a lot of surprises. ABAP is learning new tricks. Look at this one:
CONSTANTS:
lc_menina TYPE STRING VALUE ‘GIRL',
lc_menino TYPE STRING VALUE ‘BOY’,
lc_senhor TYPE STRING VALUE ’GENTLEMAN’,
lc_senhora TYPE STRING VALUE ‘LADY’.
SELECT nome,
CASE
WHEN sexo_id = ‘M' AND idade < 18 THEN @lc_menino
WHEN sexo_id = ‘F’ AND idade < 18 THEN @lc_menina
WHEN sexo_id = ‘M' AND idade >=18 THEN @lc_senhor
WHEN sexo_id = ‘F’ AND idade >=18 THEN @lc_senhora
END AS titulo
FROM zpessoa
WHERE pessoa_id = @pessoa_id
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF @lt_pessoas.
You just have to wait for version 7.40.
Thank you Sérgio Fraga for the tip.
