Filtering the data in internal table

[Former Member]

Hi,

I facing one problem. The issue is that i have to filter the data in an internal table. The sample is as shown:

AUFNR MATNR SER_NAME

sv1 mat1 ser_name1

sv1 mat2 ser_name2

sv1 mat3 ser_name3

sv2 mat21 ser_name21

sv2 mat21 ser_name22

sv2 mat22 ser_name23

As depited, the record, SV2 has the same matnr( mat21 ). The result should be

AUFNR MATNR SER_NAME

sv1 mat1 ser_name1

sv1 mat2 ser_name2

sv1 mat3 ser_name3

sv2 mat21 ser_name21, ser_name22

sv2 mat22 ser_name23

The ser_name for 'mat21' should be concatenated and the other record should be deleted or I can prepare another table

for storing the result set(this i want to avoid .. )

Kindly suggest..

If the scenario is not clear kindly let me know...:)

Hi,

You can do the processing within the same internal table itself. Try like this,

data: v_ind type i.
data: wa like itab.

loop at itab.
v_ind = sy-tabix + 1.
read table itab into wa index v_ind.
if itab-matnr = wa-matnr.
delete itab where aufnr = wa-aufnr matnr = wa-matnr ser_name = wa-ser_name.
concatenate itab-ser_name wa-ser_name into itab-ser_name.
modify itab.
clear wa.
endif.
endloop.

first sort the itab properly by sernr and material.

loop at itab into is1.
 index = sy-index + 1.
 at last. " this is needed to remove the dump at the last line read
  exit.
 endat. 
 read table itab into is2 index index.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
   if is1-matnr = is2-matnr and is1-sernr = is2 sernr.
     concatenate is1-sur_name is2-sur_name into is1-surname,
   endif.
   modify itab from is1.
   delete itab index index.
 endif
 endloop.

try using the syntax:

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM (internal table) COMPARING ( field1, field2)
