Abap Predefined function nmax and nmin
As part of the ABAP predefined functions series, today I wanted to talk about numerical Extremum functions: NMIN, and NMAX. These functions return the minimum/maximum values out of the input argument. Syntax: result = nmax|nmin ( val1 = arg1 val2 = arg2....val5 = arg5 ..val9 = arg9 ). Features: - All the input arguments are of type numeric data object/ numeric expressions. - A minimum of two arguments must be passed up to 9. Example: It's elementary to start undermining the function as an extreme of two can be easily calculated with a simple if-else: but what if 3, or 4 or more fields were involved: You can notice how the ifs are increasing but it's a simple method call to NMAX or NMIN to achieve the same. Below is a small ready-to-execute report to calculate the least or highest value of input values of up to 9 variables, As always, I hope this information helps you with your day-to-day work.
