Merging of multiple rows in an internal table as a single record

Former Member

Hi All,

I have an internal table which has the following columns:

text, date, time, user.

it stores notes in the internal table.

The problem is...when I save a note with multiple lines and spaces it saves each line of the note as a row in the internal table.

Thus i get more no. of rows in the internal table compare to the no. of rows!

I need to store each notes as single row in the internal table.

Please advise how to approach this?

Helpful answers will be rewarded.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshumita.

Anshumita,

I don't think that it is possible to store the whole notes as one record in the internal table.Why don't you try it by giving an internal table of the below structure.

TYPES :BEGIN OF TY_ITAB2,

DATA(400),

END OF TY_ITAB2.

DATA: ITAB3 TYPE TY_ITAB2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE

Loop at itab1.

ITAB3-DATA = ITAB1-LABEL.

APPEND ITAB3.

ITAB3-DATA = ITAB1-MATNR.

APPEND ITAB3.

endloop.

I am not sure whether this kind of internal table will help you or not.

You can create a deep internal table. You can declare one Column as an internal table and store the NOTES in that Internal table for each row.
