Re: How to distinguish whether a TIMS type variable is 00:00:00 or initial?

Dear John,

Thanks for your reply and useful information.

I understand your point,that is, when declare a variable in ABAP, it will have a default value, for TIMS type,it is 00:00:00.

But now the problem is, I want to assign a value to A1, and then check whether the A1 is still initial,which means whether I assigned the value successfully. So in this case, 'A1 IS INITIAL' means not assigned, 'A1 IS NOT INITIAL' means assigned successfully. When I assign the value'00:00:00', actually this value is assigned to A1, but because this value is equal the default value of A1, so it still shows 'A1 IS INITIAL'.

So how could I distinguish whether A1 is assigned the value'00:00:00' or it is its default? Is there any statement to judge a variable is assigned or not?

Thanks.

Best Regards,
