Using Functional Methods in logical Expressions

7.02后在条件判断中引入了Functional Method，其返回一个特定的结果值。

    IF strlen( string ) > 10.
      "Do Something
    ENDIF.

    CHECK zcl_bc_system_environment=>is_production( ) = abap_false.

Omitting ABAP_TRUE

通常我们在IF条件中判断是否为TRUE IF zcl_bc_system_environment=>is_production( ) = abap_true.。7.4开始，可以忽略ABAP_TRUE，直接IF zcl_bc_system_environment=>is_production( ).。这种方式只在返回值为ABAP_BOOL类型时才有意义。比如方法返回值为NO，但其实认为的结果是not initial，将会认为是APAP_TRUE。

Using XSDBOOL as a Workaround for BOOLC

以前我们可以BOOLC判断true/false，但由于BOOLC返回的是string类型，而abap_ture是C类型，如果返回是abap_true那没问题，但如下代码，虽然boolc返回空，但因为是string类型，与abap_false不相等，因此会造成误解。

    IF boolc( 1 = 2 ) = abap_false.
      WRITE:/ '1 does not equal 2'.
    ELSE.
      WRITE:/ '1 equals 2, and the world is made of snow'.
    ENDIF.

7.4后可以用XSDBOOL，将返回ABAP_BOOL类型，如下代码将正确执行。

    IF xsdbool( 1 = 2 ) = abap_false.
      WRITE:/ '1 does not equal 2'.
    ELSE.
      WRITE:/ '1 equals 2, and the world is made of snow'.
    ENDIF.

The SWITCH Statement as a Replacement for CASE

我们经常见到如下代码，对一个变量进行条件赋值，在每一个条件WHEN中必选将该变量都写一遍。

    DATA: indicator TYPE scal-indicator,
          day       TYPE c LENGTH 10,
          date      TYPE sy-datum.
    date = sy-datum.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_COMPUTE_DAY'
      EXPORTING
        date = date
      IMPORTING
        day  = indicator.
    CASE indicator.
      WHEN 1.
        day = 'Monday'.
      WHEN 2.
        day = 'Tuesday'.
      WHEN 3.
        day = 'Wednesday'.
      WHEN 4.
        day = 'Thursday'.
      WHEN 5.
        day = 'Friday'.
      WHEN 6.
        day = 'Saturday'.
      WHEN 7.
        day = 'Sunday'.
      WHEN OTHERS.
        RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE zcx_monster_exceptions.
    ENDCASE.

7.4后引入了SWITCH，这样就不需要每个条件分支中写入变量名了，对于day2类型的定义也移到了表达式中，减少了代码量。并且这里也可以用THROW来抛出异常。

    DATA(day2) = SWITCH char10( indicator
    WHEN 1 THEN 'Monday'
    WHEN 2 THEN 'Tuesday'
    WHEN 3 THEN 'Wednesday'
    WHEN 4 THEN 'Thursday'
    WHEN 5 THEN 'Friday'
    WHEN 6 THEN 'Saturday'
    WHEN 7 THEN 'Sunday'
    ELSE THROW zcx_monster_exceptions( ) ).

The COND Statement as a Replacement for IF/ELSE

CASE只能一次判断一个变量，如果条件多我们要用if/else来判断，7.4后引入了COND，如下代码，可以在WHEN分支中添加其他判断条件。

    cs_monster_header-sanity_description =
    COND text30(
    WHEN cs_monster_header-sanity = 5 THEN 'VERY SANE'
    WHEN cs_monster_header-sanity = 4 THEN 'SANE'
    WHEN cs_monster_header-sanity = 3 THEN 'SLIGHTLY MAD'
    WHEN cs_monster_header-sanity = 2 THEN 'VERY MAD'
    WHEN cs_monster_header-sanity = 1 AND
         day = 'Tuesday'              THEN 'HAVING AN OFF DAY'
    WHEN cs_monster_header-sanity = 1 THEN 'BONKERS'
    ELSE 'RENAMES SAP PRODUCTS' ).
