Hi Arun,

Check this code ,

DATA : begin of itab occurs 0 ,

a type char1,

b type i ,

end of itab ,

begin of jtab occurs 0 ,

a type char1,

b type i ,

end of jtab ,

• Getting details

lin1 type i ,

lin2 type i ,

final type i .

itab-a = 'a' .

itab-b = '1' .

append itab .

itab-a = 'a' .

itab-b = '2' .

append itab .

itab-a = 'a' .

itab-b = '3' .

append itab .

itab-a = 'b' .

itab-b = '1' .

append itab .

jtab] = itab[ .

DESCRIBE TABLE ITAB lines lin1.

DELETE JTAB WHERE a = 'a' .

DESCRIBE TABLE JTAB lines lin2 .

• Required Data

final = lin1 - lin2 .

write : 'number of records =' , final .

hope it helps...

or try this:

try like this :

itab_buff[ ] = itab[ ].

delete itab_buff where kunnr NE '10000'.

Data: lv_lines type i.

Describe table itab_buff lines lv_lines.

kindly reward if found helpful.

Hello,

Loop through the internal table and check sy-tabix > 5 and do the call to the process.
