Hi Expert,

Thanks in advance ,

Hi Nitin, Certainly, SAP transaction ABAPDOCU - ABAP Documentation and Examples will help you about it.

Parallel cursor technique hasn't been necessary since tables other than STANDARD were introducted into the ABAP langauge over 18 years ago.

Hi Nitin, example about parallel cursor algorithm...

...
SORT: lt_x[] by key field_a, lt_y[] by key field_a.
...
lv_index = 0.

LOOP AT lt_x[] INTO lw_x.
  LOOP AT lt_y[] INTO lw_y FROM lv_index.

    IF ( lw_y-field_a NE lw_x-field_a ).
      lv_index = sy-tabix.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
  ...
  ENDLOOP.
...
ENDLOOP.<br>

Thanks Roberto.

This syntax is know and already worked on it.

But i was actually looking for abap 7.50 .

For Example ..Below is the way to populate the internal table (replacement of Loop).

DATA(gt_citys) = VALUE ty_citys( FOR ls_ship IN gt_ships

WHERE ( route = ‘R0001’ ) ( ls_ship–city ) ).

*** So is there any way to replace the old parallel cursor syntaxes with the new syntax .

Regards,

Nitin

Is it ?

But if we want to loop the internal table inside the loop , then we need to use the parallel cursor technique to avoid the unnecessary loops .

Regards,

Nitin

With HASHED tables (for example), the need to loop within a loop in this fashion can be made to disappear.
