Reading an internal table by index

[Former Member]

Hi.

Is it possible in ABAP Programming to read an internal table by is index?

For example in JAVA we can do something like that:

var = my_table[index];

How can we access data by specifying the row we need in ABAP?

Thanks for your help.

HI

GOOD

DATA: BEGIN OF LINE,

COL1 TYPE I,

COL2 TYPE I,

END OF LINE.

DATA ITAB LIKE HASHED TABLE OF LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY COL1.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS> LIKE LINE OF ITAB.

DO 4 TIMES.

LINE-COL1 = SY-INDEX.

LINE-COL2 = SY-INDEX ** 2.

INSERT LINE INTO TABLE ITAB.

ENDDO.

READ TABLE ITAB WITH TABLE KEY COL1 = 2 ASSIGNING <FS>.

<FS>-COL2 = 100.

LOOP AT ITAB INTO LINE.

WRITE: / LINE-COL1, LINE-COL2.

ENDLOOP.
