Read table

2817 Views

Hi Team,

I have a requirment where I need to read entries with *

For Exa :

My Internal table contains Rec1 with SORTL = AB1234 .

And table key contains value lv_sortl = 1234.

I need to retrive the Rec1 though it has AB1234. Normally we can do the similar thing on DB table

(i.e) In select Options for field SORTL if we give *1234, then a Record is displayed. Now I need to do the similar thing through Program.

Currently I am using the below which is helpless.

READ TABLE i_kna1 INTO wa_kna1 WITH KEY sortl = lv_sortl.

I have a solution I need to loop the Internal table and use String Operators(Contains any or Contains Pattern), but I cant do this because its a huge table and I have to loop it everytime inside a loop.

Is there any alternate way to do this ?

Thanks in advance.

use proper subject line for your posts
