Hi,

Try this:

Data: count_lines type i.

describe table my_table lines count_lines.

Loop in IntTab and you get the count in sy-tabix.

check the keyword DESCRIBE TABLE IntTab LINES lin.

DESCRIBE TABLE itab LINES v_lines

is the best way to do it. It is performancewise better.

Hi,

There is also a built-in function, LINES( ) which returns number of lines in an internal table :

data: lv_no_of_lines type i,

lt_flights type table of sflight.

lv_no_of_lines = LINES( lt_flights ).

LINES( ) is a nice feature, however it's only available for WAS. For 46C it's not available, so you can only use DESCRIBE TABLE LINES.

Actually you can implement a class for this with DESCRIBE TABLE LINES, and use syntax ZMYCLASS=>LINES( ). Almost as cool as in WAS:-)
