Hi ,

Binary search in sap works similar to any other lang.

I will tell u with an example

you have an internal tables with the foloowing records

and now you want to search a record using a binary search

say you want to search no 2

first it splits your internal table

5 greter than 2 ignores this temp internla table

then it divides

internla table in to two again

3 greater than 2 and ignores it doesn't even check the next record

now it considers

and splits agains into

2 this is required number

Most imp thing

you have to sort your internal table before using binary search key word

Hope iam clear

Thanks
