Hi Exiting Record Update....

Posted on Jan 10, 2007 at 02:45 PM 16 Views

Hi Friends ,

I have written a select query which can update the record not add but it is simply adding the new row. How can I prevent this one ?How can I Update already exiting data in the table by using select query..?

My requirement is I have table which maintains all the sales orders numbers and their deliver dates. When ever the user changes the data by using va02 we have to run our program so that we are giving the order no.. so that it should take the data from the vbak table....

    Hi ,use modify statement,

    what is does is it modifies if a record exists or it inserts a record if it doesn't exist.

    Mind you its checks for primary key for insertion and modification.

    Thanks

    select data from vbak into itab based on conditions.

    now using itab u can modify the table...say ztable.

    loop at itab.

    ztable-keyfield = itab-keyfield.

    ztable-field1 = itab-field1.

    ztable-field2 = itab-field2.

    update ztable where keyfield = itab-keyfield

    endloop.

    This will update exitising records..
