Logical Expressions in ABAP Release 7.0, EhP2


1. Boolean Functions

2. Predicate Functions

3. New Boolean Operator EQUIV



Hint

The program DEMO_EXPRESSIONS shows examples of the logical expressions in ABAP release 7.0, EhP2.



Modification 1  

Boolean Functions

The new built-in Boolean functions boolc and boolx accept logical expressions as arguments and return their truth values in the form of character strings or byte strings.



Modification 2  

Predicate Functions

The new predicate functions return truth values and can be used like relational expressions. Predicate functions for character-like arguments were introduced in ABAP release 7.0, EhP2.



Modification 3  

New Boolean Operator EQUIV

The new Boolean operator EQUIV enables an equivalence relationship between two logical expressions.
