Arithmetic operators are used in mathematical expressions in the same way that they are used in algebra. The following are the arithmetic operators available in SAP ABAP.
| Operator | Usage |
|---|---|
| + (Addition) | It is used to add two or more variable/values of numeric type.
DATA: LV_ONE TYPE N VALUE '10'. DATA: LV_TWO TYPE N VALUE '20'. DATA: LV_THREE TYPE N. LV_THREE = LV_ONE + LV_TWO. "Result lv_three will be 30 |
| - (Subtraction) | It is used to subtract one or more variable/values of numeric type from a variable .
DATA: LV_ONE TYPE N VALUE '10'. DATA: LV_TWO TYPE N VALUE '20'. DATA: LV_THREE TYPE N. LV_THREE = LV_TWO + LV_ONE. "Result lv_three will be 10 |
| * (Multiplication) | It is used to multiply two or more variables.
DATA: LV_ONE TYPE N VALUE '10'. DATA: LV_TWO TYPE N VALUE '20'. DATA: LV_THREE TYPE N. LV_THREE = LV_TWO * LV_ONE. "Result lv_three will be 200 |
| / (Division) | It is used to divide a variable by a variable.
DATA: LV_ONE TYPE N VALUE '10'. DATA: LV_TWO TYPE N VALUE '20'. DATA: LV_THREE TYPE N. LV_THREE = LV_TWO / LV_ONE. "Result lv_three will be 2 |
| MOD (Modulus) | Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns the remainder.
DATA: LV_ONE TYPE N VALUE '10'. DATA: LV_TWO TYPE N VALUE '20'. DATA: LV_THREE TYPE N. LV_THREE = LV_TWO MOD LV_ONE. "Result lv_three will be 0 |
