Use FIND statement : check below code


DATA:  BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
         f1(10) TYPE c,
         f2(10) TYPE c,
       END OF itab.

itab-f1 = '3'.
itab-f2 = 'S'.
APPEND itab.

itab-f1 = '2'.
itab-f2 = 'T'.
APPEND itab.

itab-f1 = '4'.
itab-f2 = 'S'.
APPEND itab.

itab-f1 = '4'.
itab-f2 = 'P'.
APPEND itab.

itab-f1 = '2'.
itab-f2 = 'S'.
APPEND itab.

FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF 'P' IN TABLE itab IN CHARACTER MODE.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
  MESSAGE 'Yes' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.

Reward if useful

You can use READ TABLE.

DATA: BEGIN OF TEST OCCURS 3,

VALUE TYPE C,

END OF TEST.

APPEND 'a' TO TEST.

APPEND 'b' TO TEST.

APPEND 'c' TO TEST.

READ TABLE TEST WITH KEY VALUE = 'a'.

Use Read statement if u dont want to use loop.

Write like this

Data: Begin of itab occurs 0,

it1(10) type c,

End of itab,

sno type i value 1.

itab-it1 = 'abcd'.

append itab.

itab-it1 = 'bcd'.

append itab.

itab-it1 = 'bcd'.

append itab.

itab-it1 = 'bacd'.

append itab.

loop at itab.

endloop.

sort itab by it1.

do sy-tfill times.

read table itab index sno.

if itab-it1 ca 'a'.

write:/ 'Found'.

else.

write:/ 'Not Found'.

endif.

sno = sno + 1.

enddo.

Hi,

If you dont want to use Loop statement then you can use READ TABLE Statement.
