BINARY SEARCH does not work as before after upgrade

176 Views

We recently upgraded from HRSP 26 to HRSP 40 as well as similar upgrades in non-HR areas on our ECC 6.04 system. We've been in SAP since 1998, and have a lot of old custom programs which were written when we were still new at ABAP. In a few, we put records into an internal table sorted the table, maybe added a few more records to the table, and did a READ BINARY SEARCH. Granted, this is not correct, adding records to a table after it is sorted. But these programs have worked for more than 10 years and now, since our upgrade, the READ BINARY SEARCH does not always find a record where it did before the upgrade.

So this is mostly just a heads-up. If you are missing data in reports after upgrading, this might be the issue. Also I am wondering if anyone has experienced this.

Heads-up!
