Sorting of internal tables using deep structure fields

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a requirement in which we need to sort an internal table.

but the internal table has deep structure( it has a field which is an internal table).

Now I need to sort the internal table using the fields in the deep structure ( deep structure has some fields and i need to use them in my sort condition)

But i could not sort the internal table.

Its is diaplaying a message " no component exists with the name".

Please help.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi:

1. declare the type of internal table

2. append the contents from there to your internal table

3. then sort your internal table and use it .

Suppose the deep structure is declared as include in the table.

Then you can sort like this

sort itab by include-field1 include field2.

Hi Ravi,

I checked your requirement. I will show you one small example which i checked and it is working.

I have a table by name DPR_PROJECT. In that I have one deep structure called Extended_Attributes.

Now look this example and follow. Hope it is useful to you.

<data: begin of itab occurs 0.

include structure dpr_project.

data end of itab.

select * from dpr_project into table itab.

sort itab by extended_attributes-zzinvtype.>
