Definition

Operations VARST, HRS, and ADDDB are used frequently in time evaluation. They illustrate the options available to you for customizing personnel calculation rules.

Structure

Operation VARST

Operation VARST is only used as a decision operation. You can use it to query general status fields (values from tables, infotypes, data on the weekday, and so on) or to enter them in the variable key of the personnel calculation rule.

Operation HRS

Operation HRS processes the number of hours field. You can use it to enter a particular value in the number of hours field and/or provide values from tables, infotypes, results from tables SALDO, TES, and so on.

If you loop through table TIP, the number of hours field is filled with the number of hours of the TIP entry. If the function used does not loop through table TIP, the number of hours field has the same value as it did previously.

You can use operation HRS as a decision operation or as an operation to perform calculations and form balances.

The operation comprises four parts:

Operation HRSOYZZZZ

• Set the number of hours field to the same value as a particular table value

• Deduct the number of hours field from or add it to a time type

• Multiply the number of hours field by a value

• Compare the number of hours field with a value

You can use the origin indicator of the operand to make the following available:

• Values from internal tables

• Values from tables

• Values from infotypes

• Employee’s age

• System fields

• Result of the last HRS operation

You can use a time type, number of hours or a field name as operands .

Operation ADDDB

Operation ADDDB is an operation that is used to store values in table TES. It enters the value of the number of hours field for the specified time type in table TES (day balances).

Operation ADDDB is made up of three parts:

Operation ADDDBxxxxy

The value of the number of hours field in time type 9999 is 5 hours.

Time type 9999 = 5.00
