Modify statement not working properly inside the loop

Former Member — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 05:58:36 GMT

Hi All,

My internal table is having 6 fields among them 4 fields are filled with some values and i need to fill the other 2 fields using filled fields.

so i am looping the internal table into work area and filling the remaining 2 fields using 'MODIFY' and Sy-TABIX commond.

when i execute in debugging mode the empty 2 fields are filling in to the corresponding row properly, but when i loop the internal table after filling all empty fields of each row, the values are getting interchanged.

i used MODIFY itab from WA index sy-tabix.

i am not getting a clue why the calculated values are getting inter changed??????????? plz suggest

Thanks,

Harish

Hi Harish,

It will be better to understand the problem if you paste your code snippet here.

hi harish,

while looping your internal table itself you do one thing,

data : int type i.

loop at itab into wa.

int = sy-tabix.

do the changes

and

modify itab from wa index int.

try this will work

hope it helps,

Vinoth

Hi Harish,

Why don't you use a field-symbol? Then, you won't have to use the MODIFY statement at all.

LOOP AT itab ASSIGNING <field-symbol>

Hi Harish,

Please try to add keyword TRANSPORTING on the MODIFY command.

MODIFY itab from WA index sy-tabix TRANSPORTING field1 field2.

And make sure the MODIFY command is executed inside the loop.
