Splitting an Internal Table

Former Member — Wed, 06 Jul 2005 11:27:56 GMT

Hi,

whats the most efficient way of splitiing a standard internal table. I have an internal like below:

Element value

ElementA dsds

ElementA d343

ElementB dsfds23

ElementC sfdsf

and want split it into a new internal table for each element type. Is the best way to loop round the internal table, adding the element to a new internal table, checking when it changes, doing my processing, and repeating the process?

Thanks.

Hi,

I would suggest.

loop at itab into wa.

at new element.

itab2-element = wa-element.

or do anything you like with this row.

endat.

endloop.

Hi,

Perfect. But for this to work perfectly, you'll need to sort the itab on element field.
