hiii optional DESCRIBE but with a condition

[Former Member]

Hi

i have an internal table

ID-----FIELD1

11----XX1

11----XX2

22----XX3

I am looping at the ITAB i need that for example since 11 has many occurences i do processing A and else Processing B.

A bit like the DESCRIBE statement which return the No of lines. except that i need to add the ID condition

Can anyone please advise if there is an ABAP keyword to do this

Hello

No keyword for this.

Try this logic:

data: itab1 like itab occurs 0.
data: counter type i.
sort itab.
loop at itab.
  at new id.
    itab1[] = itab[].
    delete itab1 where id NE itab-id.
    describe table itab1 lines counter.
    if counter = 1. " only one record with particular ID
* do anything    
    else. " some records with ID
* do anything    
    endif.
    refresh itab1.
  endat.
endloop.
