itab - result values after interface

Hi Gurus, I have an intersting issue today. I have an itab as a result from combining data from sap and another system ( inbound Interface ). According to my conditions, sometimes I have an employee with 2 status , resulting in 2 lines on the table with the same employee but with 2 different status. Example First Name Last Name Status Ana Maria Employee not qualified Ana Maria Employee qualified. What I need is when an employee already have a status ( a complete line on itab ) to stop the search and consider only the 1st line. That happens because conditions sometimes returns me several status for a single employee. How can I better address this? Thank you, F
