Increasing the index of the loop.

[former_member1360394]

Hello Everyone,

I have a loop which I write like below:

Loop at itab into wa from index.

I use parallel cursor and use another loop.

     loop at itab1 into wa1.

          **** my code *****

    endloop.

endloop.

Now my requirement is that I start the first loop after some records if the second loop record exists.

Can I increase the value of index inside the second loop or how do I approach it?

Thanks.

Hi.

create a variable l_index and use it in the second loop.

there u can increase the value of the l_index as you want.

second loop.

l_index = sy-tabix.

Hello Miguel,

I created one variable like index and increased the value in the second loop.

But when its going to the first loop, the value of index shows as 8, but its starting from 5.

Initially it had started from 4.

Hi Vinod,

            Please place your coding ....

Hi,

what i always do is to use local variable for index inside the loop. So, for the first loop also use a l_index1, for the second loop l_index2 and use them as you want.

But becareful, do not use l_index = sy-tabix, because it will be the same.

need to create ur own counter, means

l_index1 = 1 + l_index1.

then inside the second loop.

l_index2 = 1 + l_index2.

that's all

Miguel,

Thanks for the reply.

Please see the code here:

Read table itab into wa with key.

if sy-subrc = 0.

     index1 = sy-tabix.

     loop at itab into wa1 from lw_index1.

          read table itab1 into wa2 with key.

          if sy-subrc = 0.

               index = sy-tabix.

               loop at itab1 into wa3 from index.

                   ***** my code here****

                    index1 = index1 + 1.

               endloop.

          endif.

     endloop.

endif.

I meant

loop at itab into wa1 from index1.

[former_member203305]

hi.

it should work...just check the result that u expect to get.

Miguel,

I just checked its not working.

I think that no need of the first index in the first loop. Just need the index from the second loop...

     loop at itab into wa1.

          l_index1 = l_index1 + 1.

          read table itab1 into wa2 with key.

          if sy-subrc = 0.

               loop at itab1 into wa3 from index1.

                   ***** my code here****

               endloop.

          endif.

     endloop.

if not...please explain the original request to understand it better.

Miguel,

Thank you for the reply.

Basically the above code doesn't work for me.
I do the loop on the same table twice based on different conditions.

loop at itab into wa1 from index1.

          read table itab into wa2 with key.

          if sy-subrc = 0.

               index = sy-tabix.

               loop at itab into wa3 from index.

                   ***** my code here****

                    index1 = index1 + 1.

               endloop.

          endif.

     endloop.

[former_member203305]

ok..rare.

well, check this condition.

loop at itab into wa1 from index1.

          read table itab into wa2 with key.

          if sy-subrc = 0.

               index = sy-tabix.

replace for

loop at itab into wa1 from index1.

         index = index + 1.

          read table itab into wa2 with key.

          if sy-subrc = 0.

because sy-tabix always changes ...better to use ur own counter as i told you.

Miguel,

Can you kindly explain more as its confusing. 🙂

Regards,

Vinod

[former_member203305]

you are using 2 loops, the variables are the same sy-tabix for both loops.

So rather than use sy-tabix, use a local variable that does the same.

l_index = l_index + 1.

replace the code that i sent u and check it.

Miguel,

Sorry to ask but can you give me the code as I understood the explanation but not able to get how to write it.

loop at itab into wa1 from index1.

         index = index + 1.

          read table itab into wa2 with key.

          if sy-subrc = 0.

              loop at itab1 into wa3 from index.

                   ***** my code here****

                    index1 = index1 + 1.

               endloop.

          endif.

     endloop.

that's all

good luck...check the index...just index problem...

Miguel,

Its not working.

Index1 value is 8 when it comes out of second loop.

But when it goes to the first loop, it is starting from 5 as initially it had started from 4.

[former_member203305]

mmm...so why do you need the index1 in the first loop. that one should always be looping without index as i understood. sorry i dont get what u need...

Hi Vinod,

               Please refer below coding i think it will satisfies your requirements.

DATA: I TYPE I.

I = 1.

LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA1.

  do.

    READ TABLE ITAB2 INTO WA2 INDEX I.

    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. EXIT. ENDIF.

    IF WA2-K < WA1-K.

      ADD 1 TO I.

    ELSEIF WA2-K = WA1-K.

      " ...

      ADD 1 TO I.

      EXIT.

    ELSE.

      EXIT.

    endif.

  enddo.

  if sy-subrc <> 0. exit. endif.

ENDLOOP.

I have resolved the problem myself.

Thank you so much guys for helping it out.

Since I was looping the same table twice.

I added the index inside the second loop.

Below shows the result:

Loop at itab1 into wa1.

     read table itab1 into wa2 with key.

     index1=sy-tabix.

          loop at itab1 into wa3 from index1.

               index 1 = index1 + 1.

               *my code*

          endloop.

endloop.
