hi,

help abap begginer

I found program for my project, except it returns a Dump, (Time-out), the DO iteration never ends, i think i have to add a stop condition but i don't know where exactly and how stop it. plz correct me plz. thanks

l_date = ls_new_p2001-begda - 1.
DO.
LOOP AT lt_persw INTO ls_persw WHERE datum = l_date
                               AND ftkla = 0
                               AND stdaz <> 0.
ENDLOOP.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM pa2001 INTO pa2001 WHERE pernr = ls_new_p2001-pernr
                                        AND subty = 'CE'
                                        AND begda <= l_date
                                        AND endda >= l_date.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
     l_date = l_date - 1.
    ELSE.
     EXIT.
    ENDIF.
 ELSE.
   l_date = l_date - 1.
 ENDIF.
ENDDO.

READ TABLE ... WHERE

Are you sure?

For clarity and efficiency use something like this.

l_date = ls_new_p2001-begda - 1.
DO.
  IF entry_exists( l_date ).
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM pa2001 INTO pa2001 WHERE pernr = ls_new_p2001-pernr
                                        AND subty = 'CE'
                                        AND begda <= l_date
                                        AND endda >= l_date.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
     l_date = l_date - 1.
    ELSE.
     EXIT.
    ENDIF.
 ELSE.
   l_date = l_date - 1.
 ENDIF.
ENDDO.

...
METHOD entry_exists. " Returning parameter r_result type abap_bool
  LOOP AT lt_persw INTO ls_persw WHERE datum = l_date
                                 AND ftkla = 0
                                 AND stdaz <> 0.
    r_result = abap_true.
    RETURN.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.

But that's not the cause of your error.

There is one place I can see where you'll get an eternal loop. In your LOOP AT - if there are no entries that match from the start date down, then the loop will never end.

Try running it in debug.
