Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply, well I did use that Translate key word and it worked too, I used the following code:

loop at it_input_file.

TRANSLATE it_tab-matnr TO UPPER CASE.

endloop.

but what it is doing right now is it will transalte the material no. to upper case but as soon as I am out of the loop it shows me the same old material. I mean basically its not saving the changes.

Thanks

Well, you have to MODIFY the internal table:

LOOP AT it_input_file.
  TRANSLATE it_tab-matnr TO UPPER CASE.
  MODIFY it_input_file.        "<========
ENDLOOP.

Hi Rob, the problem is solved. But now I want to assign you the reward points but I can't see the option, don't know why?

I have one more small question what does it mean when sy-subrc returns '4'.

The point system (for the forum only) has been down for a while. Don't know when it'll be back.

SY-SUBRC = 4 means different thing in different circumstances. What were you doing when you got it.
