The best way for reading a single record from a internal tables is like this:

READ TABLE it_internal into wa_internal WITH KEY field1 = my_field1
field2 = my_field2.

is there is a structure uinside the record yo can access with:

"wa_internal-structure-field".

was this what you where looking for?

Bye,

Andrew83.

let itab be a internal table, let struc be the structure inside it having fields a, b, c.

then u can read it like this.

loop at itab.

wrtite: itab-struc-a. " to read field a of struc in itab

endloop.

structure does not contain any record.

Hi,

Yes Structure does not Hold data, but if you have populated the structure and you want to move its values into the internal table then:

Case1 : if the stucture has same no of fields with same name and type as the Internal table then

APPEND <structure> TO int_tab.

Case2: if the structure and int table have different structures then

MOVE-CORRESPONDING <structure> TO <int table work area>

APPEND <int table work area> TO int_tab

by using read statements we can retrieving a record is the best process.

if there arebulk of records looping is the best process...
