Hi Gurus,

I have an internal table with values country code and current price and using a selection screen i get a price, now i need to pick a value from the table which is nearest to the one in the screen. How do i achieve this logic? All help regarding this is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

you can do like this..

parameters : valin type p decimals 2.

data:begin of itab occurs 0,

val type p decimals 2,

end of itab.

itab-val = valin.

append itab.

sort itab by val descending.

regards,

venkat

give 10 as input and execute this program

parameters:valin type p.

data:begin of itab occurs 0,

val type p decimals 2,

end of itab.

itab-val = '10.13'.

append itab.

itab-val = '14.13'.

append itab.

itab-val = '9.13'.

append itab.

itab-val = '4.13'.

append itab.

itab-val = '22.13'.

append itab.

sort itab descending.

loop at itab where val <= valin.

write itab-val.

exit.

endloop.

Hi Keshu,

I need to find the nearest , i.e., if there is 9.8 in the table and 10.11 in the table and the value i enter is 10, then my program should pick up 10.11 as nearest value.

this will work....donot forget to reward

DATA:leval TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA:geval TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA:final_val1 TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA:final_val2 TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

DATA:BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
val TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
END OF itab.


PARAMETERS:valin TYPE p.


itab-val = '10.13'.APPEND itab.

itab-val = '14.13'.APPEND itab.

itab-val = '9.8'.APPEND itab.

itab-val = '4.13'.APPEND itab.

itab-val = '10.11'.APPEND itab.

SORT itab DESCENDING BY val.

LOOP AT itab WHERE val <= valin.
  leval = itab-val.
  EXIT.
ENDLOOP.

SORT itab ASCENDING BY val.

LOOP AT itab WHERE val >= valin.
  geval = itab-val.
  EXIT.
ENDLOOP.

final_val1 = ABS( valin - leval ).
final_val2 = ABS( valin - geval ).

IF final_val1 < final_val2.
  WRITE leval.
ELSEIF final_val2 < final_val1.
  WRITE geval.
ELSEIF final_val1 = 0 AND final_val2 <> 0.
  WRITE leval.
ELSEIF final_val2 = 0 AND final_val1 <> 0.
  WRITE geval.
ENDIF.
