Skip loop step

Former Member — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:22:35 GMT

Hi,

Is there an instruction to skip a loop step??

My code looks like that:


LOOP AT it_matnr.

 IF it_matnr <> matnr.
   CHECK 1 = 0.  
 ELSE.
* Do something....
 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

The instruction CHECK 1 = 0 works but It isn't "elegant"... is there another option?

Don't say me that the SKIP step with CHECK 1 = 0 is useless, because that's only a sample code to explain the situation...

Why do you not use:

LOOP AT it_matnr.

IF NOT it_matnr = matnr

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

Kind regards,

Hi,

You have a few options...

You could use LOOP AT WHERE...

Or use the CONTINUE command within your loop.

Check the F1 help for both of these to see if they are suitable.

use continue.

LOOP AT it_matnr.

IF it_matnr matnr.

continue..

ELSE.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

Thanks,

Thank you.

CONTINUE is what I was looking for. The other solutions don't solve my problem because my code is much more complicated than the sample that I posted

To be honest, I tend to use CONTINUE instead of LOOP AT WHERE 99% of the time as I find it makes the code easier to read and helps when debugging...

Just my preference really.
