    <b>Insert (into database) is valid in this format, but obsolete</b>

    Read the ABAP help for the keyword INSERT, and you'll see that sy-subrc = 4 means:

    <i>At least one row could not be inserted, because the database table already contains a row with the same primary key or a unique secondary index.</i>

    You should be able to use UPDATE rather than INSERT. Or just use MODIFY.

      The issue is that you are trying to create a record with the same key as a record already in the table.

    hi

    the syntax for insert is :

    INSERT INTO dbtab VALUES WA.

    n if it sy-subrc returns any value other than '0' then the statement has not executed correctly.

    regards,
