itab modify command

Former Member — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 01:47:44 GMT

hi friends,

i have a scenario,

an itab is already filled up, i need to change only one field

depending up on the other field condition is satisfied.

if itab-field1 = 'A'.

itab-field2 = 10.

else.

itab-field2 = 20.

endif.

no other field should be touched, how to do with work area.

i thought of coding like this.

loop at itab into wa_itab .

if wa_itab-field1 = 'A'.

wa_itab-field2 = 10.

else.

wa_itab-field2 = 20.

endif.

modify itab with wa_itab transporting field2.

endloop.

or is there a better way of doing this with replace all comand.

Hi saritha,

There is nothing wrong with this code and it is ok to use.

If you still want some modification you can use index while modifying the internal table.

loop at itab into wa_itab .

if wa_itab-field1 = 'A'.

wa_itab-field2 = 10.

else.

wa_itab-field2 = 20.

endif.

<b>modify itab INDEX sy-tabix FROM wa_itab transporting field2.</b>

endloop.

just use modify itab from wa ,no need to have transporting syntax.

What you wrote is correct, you can also use like this.

loop at itab into wa_itab .

if wa_itab-field1 = 'A'.

wa_itab-field2 = 10.

else.

wa_itab-field2 = 20.

endif.

<b> MODIFY itab FROM wa_itab INDEX sy-tabix

TRANSPORTING field 2 WHERE field1 = 'A'.</b>

*modify itab with wa_itab transporting field2.

endloop.
