Using Multiple HTMLBusiness Statements (SAP Library - HTMLBusiness Language Reference)

Using Multiple HTML^Business Statements

When using multiple HTML^Business statements, you can:

Enclose them in separate <server> ... </server> blocks or sets of back quotes.

Enclose them in a single server command or between a single pair of back quotes.

In this case, you separate the HTML^Business statements with semi-colons (just like in C or JavaScript), as in the following statement:

Delimiters Between Statements in Back Quotes

Prior to ITS 2.2, you had to insert at least one separator between multiple HTML^Business statements enclosed in back quotes or between the <server> and </server> tags.

From ITS 2.2, you do not need a separator between each statement, so you can write:

`if (1)``write("Hello world")``end`.

Delimiters Between Successive HTML^Business Statements

Prior to ITS 2.2, you had to insert a semicolon or at least a single separator between successive HTML^Business statements.

From ITS 2.2, you need neither semi-colons nor other separators. Therefore, you do not have to include a semicolon:

Before the keywords end , else , elsif and elseif

After statements that introduce a block

Examples are for (…) , if (…) , elsif (…) , elseif (…) and repeat ( )
