Symptom
The result of a formula is not expected in ABAP runtime, when the formula is using a constant value for comparison and if the field has a conversion exit (ALPHA, MATN1, etc.).
Let's take the following example:
- The source field is called SZRALPHA.
- It is CHAR, 2 with ALPHA conversion exit.
- The formula is:
IF ( /BIC/SZRALPHA = '4' ; '02' ; /BIC/SZRALPHA )
- The generated formula in the ABAP program
Therefore if the source in SZRALPHA has the value '04' (value 4 is not valid because of the ALPHA conversion), this formula will deliver incorrect results.
