Getting an error while using if statement in calculated column.can anyone please help me with this issue

Question

I am trying to learn HANA on my own.i have product id,product name,delivery date and Grossamount in my calculated view.i am trying to create calculated column where i need Grossamount in two columns based on delivery date.I have 2012 and 2013 as values for my delivery date.so i have created two column as grossamount_2012 and grossamount_2013.if i have delivery date as 4thdec,2012 i want the grossamount value to be in coloumn grossamount_2012 and the grossamount_2013 should be blank.i have written an expression like this
if("Deliverydate" <= longdate(2012-12-04),"Grossamount","0")
and it looks like this is wrong.i am getting the text Grossamount rather than values for that field in my output.so can anyone help me please?

Hi chandra
i am trying to get the same result by using sql script and CE functions.i have written the following code
select A."PRODUCTID",
       E."TEXT" as "PRODUCTNAME",
       C."COUNTRY",
       D."DELIVERYDATE",
       Sum(D."GROSSAMOUNT") as "GROSSAMOUNT"
       from "SAP_HANA_DEMO"."sap.hana.democontent.epm.data::EPM.MasterData.Products" as A     
       inner join "SAP_HANA_DEMO"."sap.hana.democontent.epm.data::EPM.MasterData.BusinessPartner" as B
       on A."SUPPLIERID" = B."PARTNERID"      
       inner join "SAP_HANA_DEMO"."sap.hana.democontent.epm.data::EPM.MasterData.Addresses" as C
       on B."ADDRESSID" = C."ADDRESSID"
       inner join "SAP_HANA_DEMO"."sap.hana.democontent.epm.data::EPM.Purchase.Item" as D
       on A."PRODUCTID" = D."PRODUCTID"
       inner join "SAP_HANA_DEMO"."sap.hana.democontent.epm.data::EPM.Util.Texts" as E
       on A."NAMEID" = E."TEXTID"
       GROUP BY A."PRODUCTID",E."TEXT",C."COUNTRY",D."DELIVERYDATE"; 
this is working fine but i want to split the grossamount based on current year and last year.Any idea how to do this
In calculation view using script can we use if and case statements?
