The alternative command looks like IF statement in ABAP/4.

IF (condition) {
*** True ***
  ...
} ELSE {
*** False ***
  ...
}.

You can insert alternative command as follows:

• Select window that you want to insert alternative command and right click. System will list object that you can create.
  
  In the example, I have window name ’%WINDOW1’ and I want to insert alternative command in this window.
  
• On popup menu, you will select Create -> Flow Logic -> Alternative
  
  
  
  System will default value of Alternative name and description but you can change them.
  
• In General Attributes tab, you can define condition to determine the alternative ways.
  
  System will default operator for concatenate these conditions by ’AND’ by you can add operator ’OR’ by select .
  
• Under alternative command, system define 2 ways when verify condition that defined in General Attributes.
  
• • If system verify the alternative command is true, system will operate command in True node.
    
    In the example, we will show %TEXT1 if alternative command is true.
    
  • If system verify the alternative command is false, system will operate command in False node.
    
    In the example, we will show %TEXT2 if alternative command is false.
