Hi,

Sy-tabix is used to find the current line in the internal table; itu2019s a current line index.

Whereas

Sy-index in used to find the number of current pass in the loop statement.

Hi,

SY-TABIX is used as the index of an internal table, which means that each time thru the LOOP it is incremented by 1. Simularly.

sy-tabix - counter for LOOP-ENDLOOP, READ TABLE

SY-INDEX is incremented each time thru the loop of a DO loop. If you want to count the number of internal table records, you can use the DESCRIBE TABLE statement

sy-index - counter for DO-ENDO, WHILE-ENDWHILE

Sy-tabix: NO of record in the internal table

Sy-index: index number of record which is currently executed.

eg: itab contains values 1 to 10.

loop at itab into wa_itab.

write: wa_itab-field1.

endloop.

suppose if the loop is getting executed for the 3rd time, then the sy-index will store the value as 3.

read table itab into wa_itab where field1 = 3.

after execution of this statement, the value of sy-index will be 3.

Dear friend,

sy-tabix: is for how many line rows is fatched from data base.

wht ever the succecfull rows retrived is the value of sy-tabix.

sy-index: is for the total no of records in a perticular table.

it is like srno.

basically the last row no is the value of sy-index.

i hope your problem.

is now solve.

Hi,

*SY-INDEX : *

In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.

*SY-TABIX : *

Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index

tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.

APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.

COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.

LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.

READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one

more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.

SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.

Hope this will give u a clear idea.
