    Sort your internal table with fields and use delete adjacent duplicates ..

    SORT i_tab BY field1 field2.

    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM i_tab COMPARING field1.

    hi Essa,

    Immediately after your select statement use <b>delete adjacent duplicates</b> statemet ..

    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM itab.

    Additions

    1. ... COMPARING f1 f2 ...

    2. ... COMPARING ALL FIELDS

    Effect

    Deletes neighboring, duplicate entries from the internal table itab . If there are n duplicate entries, the first entry is retained and the other n - 1 entries are deleted.

    Two lines are considered to be duplicated if their default keys match.

    The return code value is set as follows:

    SY-SUBRC = 0 At least one duplicate exists, at least one entry deleted.

    SY_SUBRC = 4 No duplicates exist, no entry deleted.
