>SORT TABLE DESCENDING BY Value.

>READ table INDEX 3 INTO wa.*

Other way would be to loop over table after sort.

loop at table into wa.

at new value.

add 1 to counter.

if counter = 3.

• here is 3rd largets value.

endif.

endat.

endloop.

First sort the internal table. and read the 3 record by index.

if duplicate exists use delete adjacent duplicates and read the 3 record.

second method.

loop at itab into wa_itab.

if sy-tabix = 1.

lv_high = wa_itab-value.

else.

if lv_high > wa_itab-value.

else.

lv_high = wa_itab-value.

endif.

endif.

endloop.

loop at itab into wa_itab < lv_high.

if sy-tabix = 1.

lv_sechigh = wa_itab-vlaue.

else.

if lv_shigh > wa_itab-value.

else.

lv_sechigh = wa_itab-value.

endif.

endif.

endloop.

loop at itab into wa_itab < lv_sechigh.

if sy-tabix = 1.

lv_thirdhigh = wa_itab-vlaue.

else.

if lv_thirdhigh > wa_itab-value.

else.

lv_thirdhigh = wa_itab-value.

endif.

endif.

endloop.

Hello Sanjeev-

For retrieving 3rd largest value.

1st you need to sort the itab.

2nd read with index 3.

sort itab.

read table itab into workarea index 3.
