IF ELSEIF ELSE
Learn IF ELSEIF ELSE in ABAP with a construct-specific explanation, a unique example, a practical boundary, and a mastery check.
IF ELSEIF ELSE is an atomic ABAP topic inside Control Flow. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what IF ELSEIF ELSE changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.
Topic-specific example
DATA n TYPE i VALUE 7.
IF n > 10. WRITE 'large'. ELSEIF n > 5. WRITE 'medium'. ELSE. WRITE 'small'. ENDIF.
Change the key input in this ABAP example and predict the result first; the named construct should be the reason the behavior changes.
