ADD

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Obsolete Syntax

ADD dobj1 TO dobj2.

Effect

This statement has the same effect as the statement

dobj2 = dobj2 + dobj1.

The content of dobj1 is added to the content of dobj2 and the result is assigned to dobj2. The data objects dobj1 and dobj2 have to be numeric. Only data objects can be specified, no calls or other expressions. The calculation type is determined like an arithmetic expression.


Note

The statement shown here has been replaced by calculation assignments with the operator += in which the operands can also be specified as expressions.


Example

The variable result_old has the value 10 after the calculation statements. The syntax for the calculation assignment with the same meaning is also shown.

DATA result_old TYPE i. 
DO 10 TIMES. 
  ADD 1 TO result_old. 
ENDDO. 

DATA(result_new) = 0. 
DO 10 TIMES. 
  result_new += 1. 
ENDDO. 

ASSERT result_old = result_new.
