Hi Sakthi vel, Check the program.

REPORT ztest1.
TABLES: pernr.
INFOTYPES: 0001.

GET pernr.
  rp_provide_from_frst p0001 space pn-begda pn-endda.
  IF pnp-sw-found EQ '1'.
    WRITE: / pernr-pernr, p0001-stell, pn-begda, pn-endda.
  ELSE.
    REJECT.
  ENDIF.

"After GET PERNR event p0001 internal table is filled up with  
"data for one employee. If you have multiple records in the 
"internal table, If use rp_provide_from_frst macro along with 
"parameters dates , It gets the first record from the body of 
"the internal table and puts on the header of the internal table 
"in the given period pn-begda and pn-endda. It does not get 
"from database table.

RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST will fetch the first record and

RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST will fetch the latest or recent record.

Example : If u want to get the adderess(0006) of the employee then generally the requirement will be to get the current adderess of the employee,so u need to use RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST macro.

Hi,

RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST : It will fetch the old record

between pn-begda and pn-endda.

RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST: It will pick up the latest record between pn-begda and pn-endda.

Hi experts,

i have a query on this..

in my selection screen...i have selected current month

but when i use rp_provide_frm_frst space pn-begda pn-endda...(pn-begda ---is defaulted to 1st on the month and pn-ennda defaulted to the last date of the month)

it fetches the very first record ....which does not satisfy the current month condition!!!!

pls clarify...!

Hi Sakthi,

If you have an infotype e.g. nnnn that can have a number of records over a period of time e.g.

01.01.2000 to 01.01.2005 xyz

01.01.2007 to 01.02.2009 xx

01.01.2010 to 01.01.2056 sss

then RP_PROVIDE_FROM_FRST nnnn would return

01.01.2000 to 01.01.2005 xyz

and RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST nnnn would return the lates record i.e. 01.01.2010 to 01.01.2056 sss
