Sorting Internal Table

Former Member — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 06:03:29 GMT

How to sort an internal table in this format (1 2 3 4 ....) ? Dose it has to follow an append statement ?

Because when I used -

> SORT ITAB DESCENDING BY NUMBER. I'm getting this format (1 2 3 5 4 1).

please help.

i m not clear abt ur requiremtn..

wht u can do is u can dd a seqno field to ur itab and then sort ur itab by this field in asc or descending order--

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

seqno(1) type c,

pernr like pa0006-pernr,

data end of itab.

select pernr from pa0006 up to 10 rows into corresponding fields of itab.

loop at itab.

itab-seqno = sy-tabix.

modify itab index sy-tabix.

endloop.

sort itab descending by seqno.

loop at itab.

write:/ itab.

endloop.

Hi,

When you specify

SORT ITAB BY NUMBER.

It will sort no append statement is needed.
