SORT itab BY lifnr -- > if you want to sort ascending

If you want to sort by dscending

SORT itab DSCENDING BY lifnr.

In case of Z tables it will get stored in the order how and when the tables gets updated.

HI,

you have to put your fields in an i_tab then use

sort tablename by ( i_tab ).

Here is an example:

PARAMETERS dbtab TYPE c LENGTH 30.

SELECT-OPTIONS columns FOR dbtab NO INTERVALS.

DATA: otab TYPE abap_sortorder_tab,

oline TYPE abap_sortorder,

dref TYPE REF TO data.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <column> LIKE LINE OF columns,

<itab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

TRY.

CREATE DATA dref TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (dbtab).

ASSIGN dref->* TO <itab>.

CATCH cx_sy_create_data_error.

MESSAGE 'Wrong data type!' TYPE 'I' DISPLAY LIKE 'E'.

LEAVE PROGRAM.

ENDTRY.

TRY.

SELECT *

FROM (dbtab)

INTO TABLE <itab>.

CATCH cx_sy_dynamic_osql_semantics.

MESSAGE 'Wrong database table!' TYPE 'I' DISPLAY LIKE 'E'.

LEAVE PROGRAM.

ENDTRY.

LOOP AT columns ASSIGNING <column>.

oline-name = <column>-low.

APPEND oline TO otab.

ENDLOOP.

TRY.

SORT <itab> BY (otab).

CATCH cx_sy_dyn_table_ill_comp_val.

MESSAGE 'Wrong column name!' TYPE 'I' DISPLAY LIKE 'E'.

LEAVE PROGRAM.

ENDTRY.

Regards,

Satish

hi,

what do u mean by vendor field showing wrong?

if u r updating data correctly in to the ztable then u will not be having any problem with sorting the ztable.

Hi,

If you want to sort the values while inserting into the z-table means, you want to

to create a TMG for the table and you can use the events to sort the values before

inserting into the table.

Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator

and then Environment -> Modification -> Events.

Bofore inserting and while accessing the values use

SORT itab ASCENDING BY field_name.

SORT itab DESCENDING BY field_name.

hi,

u just look for the other conditions tht u have mentioned in ur program.

if u r retriving data only from tht table using only vendor condition thn u shd get all the records.

check ur code properly or post it here.
