hi Kiran..

Control break stmts are

AT FIRST

AT NEW

AT END OF

AT LAST

all these 4 are used with in the loop of an internal table.

AT First is used for Header display purpose.

AT NEW is triggered when the value for the specified filed has been changed.

Ex: at new <filed name>

...Ur Logic...

end at.

at end of <field name> is triggered when the value of the specified field is the last iteration in the group of similar values for the specified field.

at last is used for footer purpose.

all the stmts are ended with end at stmt.

Hi..

Control break events are triggered during the LOOP on an internal table.

Sort Itab by field1.

LOOP AT itab.

AT FIRST.

" This event is triggered in First loop iteration only

ENDAT.

AT NEW FIELD1.

"This event is triggered when the Field1 gets a new value

ENDAT.

AT END OF FIELD1.

"This event is triggered before the Field1 gets a new value

ENDAT.

AT LAST.

" This event is triggered in Last loop iteration only

ENDAT.

ENDLOOP.

AT - Control break with internal tables

Variants

1. AT NEW f.

2. AT END OF f.

3. AT FIRST.

4. AT LAST.

Effect

In a LOOP which processes a dataset created with EXTRACT , you can use special control structures for control break processing. All these structures begin with AT and end with ENDAT . The sequence of statements which lies between them is then executed if a control break occurs.

You can use these key words for control break processing with extract datasets only if the active LOOP statement is proceesing an extract dataset.

The control level structure with extract datasets is dynamic. It corresponds exactly to the sort key of the extract dataset, i.e. to the order of fields in the field group HEADER by which the extract dataset was sorted .

At the start of a new control level (i.e. immediately after AT ), the following occurs in the output area of the current LOOP statement:

All default key fields (on the right) are filled with "*" after the current control level key.

All other fields (on the right) are set to their initial values after the current control level key.

Between AT and ENDAT , you can use SUM to insert the appropriate control totals in the number fields (see also ABAP/4 number types ) of the LOOP output area (on the right) after the current control level key. Summing is supported both at the beginning of a control level ( AT FIRST , AT NEW f ) and also the end of a control level ( AT END OF f , AT LAST ).

At the end of the control level processing (i.e. after ENDAT ), the old contents of the LOOP output area are restored.

Notes

When calculating totals, you must ensure that the totals are inserted into the same sub-fields of the LOOP output area as those where the single values otherwise occur. If there is an overflow, processing terminates with a runtime error.

If an internal table is processed only in a restricted form (using the additions FROM , TO and/or WHERE with the LOOP statement), you should not use the control structures for control level processing because the interaction of a restricted LOOP with the AT statement is currenly not properly defined.

With LOOP s on extracts, there are also special control break control structures you can use.

Note

Runtime errors

SUM_OVERFLOW : Overflow when calculating totals with SUM .

Variant 1

AT NEW f.

Variant 2

AT END OF f.

Effect

f is a sub-field of an internal table processed with LOOP . The sequence of statements which follow it is executed if the sub-field f or a sub-field in the current LOOP line defined (on the left) before f has a differnt value than in the preceding ( AT NEW ) or subsequent ( AT END OF ) table line.

Example

DATA: BEGIN OF COMPANIES OCCURS 20,

NAME(30),

PRODUCT(20),

SALES TYPE I,

END OF COMPANIES.

...

LOOP AT COMPANIES.

AT NEW NAME.

NEW-PAGE.

WRITE / COMPANIES-NAME.

ENDAT.

WRITE: / COMPANIES-PRODUCT, COMPANIES-SALES.

AT END OF NAME.

SUM.

WRITE: / COMPANIES-NAME, COMPANIES-SALES.

ENDAT.

ENDLOOP.

The AT statements refer to the field COMPANIES-NAME .

Notes

If a control break criterion is not known until runtime, you can use AT NEW (name) or AT END OF (name) to specify it dynamically as the contents of the field name . If name is blank at runtime, the control break criterion is ignored and the sequence of statements is not executed. If name contains an invalid component name, a runtime error occurs.

By defining an offset and/or length, you can further restrict control break criteria - regardless of whether they are specified statically or dynamically.

A field symbol pointing to the LOOP output area can also be used as a dynamic control break criterion. If the field symbol does not point to the LOOP output area, a runtime error occurs.

Note

Runtime errors

AT_BAD_PARTIAL_FIELD_ACCESS : Invalid sub-field access when dynamically specifying the control break criterion.

AT_ITAB_FIELD_INVALID : When dynamically specifying the control break criterion via a field symbol, the field symbol does not point to the LOOP output area.

ITAB_ILLEGAL_COMPONENT : When dynamically specifying the control break criterion via (name) the field name does not contain a valid sub-field name.

Variant 3

AT FIRST.

Variant 4

AT LAST.

Effect

Executes the appropriate sequence of statements once during the first ( AT FIRST ) or last ( AT LAST ) loop pass.

Example

DATA: BEGIN OF COMPANIES OCCURS 20,

NAME(30),

PRODUCT(20),

SALES TYPE I,

END OF COMPANIES.

...

LOOP AT COMPANIES.

AT FIRST.

SUM.

WRITE: 'Sum of all SALES:',

55 COMPANIES-SALES.

ENDAT.

WRITE: / COMPANIES-NAME, COMPANIES-PRODUCT,

55 COMPANIES-SALES.

ENDLOOP.

Example program which uses all Control statements :

REPORT Zcontrol_DEMO.

DATA: T1(4), T2 TYPE I.

FIELD-GROUPS: HEADER.

INSERT T2 T1 INTO HEADER.

T1 ='AABB'. T2 = 1. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='BBCC'. T2 = 2. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='AAAA'. T2 = 2. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='AABB'. T2 = 1. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='BBBB'. T2 = 2. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='BBCC'. T2 = 2. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='AAAA'. T2 = 1. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='BBBB'. T2 = 1. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='AAAA'. T2 = 3. EXTRACT HEADER.

T1 ='AABB'. T2 = 1. EXTRACT HEADER.

SORT BY T1 T2.

LOOP.

AT FIRST.

WRITE 'Start of LOOP'.

ULINE.

ENDAT.

AT NEW T1.

WRITE / ' New T1:'.

ENDAT.

AT NEW T2.

WRITE / ' New T2:'.

ENDAT.

WRITE: /14 T1, T2.

AT END OF T2.

WRITE / 'End of T2'.

ENDAT.

AT END OF T1.

WRITE / 'End of T1'.

ENDAT.

AT LAST.

ULINE.

ENDAT.

ENDLOOP.

hi

good

AT NEW <FIELD> Is triggered when the <field> is changed or any of it's Left fields are changed.

This is the Example ;

If the internal table has fields A , B ,C.

Then :

SORT ITAB BY A B.

LOOP AT ITAB.

AT NEW B.

WRITE:/ A , B.

ENDAT.

ENDLOOP.

reward point if helpful.

thanks

Hi Kiran,

<b>ON CHANGE</b>

Executes the processing block enclosed by the "ON CHANGE OF f" and "ENDON" statements whenever the contents of the field f change (control break processing).

Normally, you use the statement to manipulate database fields during GET events or SELECT/ENDSELECT processing.

ON CHANGE OF is unsuitable for recognizing control levels in loops of this type because it always creates a global auxiliary field which is used to check for changes. This global auxiliary field is only changed in the relevant ON CHANGE OF statement. It is not reset when the processing enters loops or subroutines, so unwanted effects can occur if the loop or subroutine is executed again. Also, since it is set to its initial value when created (like any other field), any ON CHANGE OF processing will be executed after the first test, unless the contents of the field concerned happen to be identical to the initial value.

DATA T100_WA TYPE T100.

SELECT * FROM T100

INTO T100_WA

WHERE SPRSL = SY-LANGU AND

MSGNR < '010'

ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY.

ON CHANGE OF T100_WA-ARBGB.

ULINE.

WRITE: / '**', T100_WA-ARBGB, '**'.

ENDON.

WRITE: / T100_WA-MSGNR, T100_WA-TEXT.

ENDSELECT.

Displays all messages with their numbers in the logon language, provided the number is less than '010'.

Each time the message class changes, it is output.

<b>AT NEW</b>

it triggers for every and any change of the fields left side to it : f1 , f2 and f3.

u can not access the fields right side to it: f4,f5, f6.

If u print them u will get * s.

<b>AT END</b>

f is a sub-field of an internal table or extract dataset (EXTRACT) which is being processed with LOOP, i.e. the variants 1 and 2 only make sense within a LOOP.

Both "AT NEW f." and "AT END OF f. " introduce processing blocks which are concluded by " ENDAT.".

These processing blocks are processed whenever the contents of a field f or a sub-field defined before f change as a result of processing with LOOP. "AT NEW f." begins a new group of (table) lines with the same contents as the field f while "AT END OF f." concludes such a group.

Within the AT ... ENDAT processing of internal tables, all argument fields following f are filled with "*".

<b>AT FIRST</b>

The system executes the statement block once for the first record of the dataset.

<b>AT LAST</b>

The system executes the statement block once for the last record of the dataset.

<b>VALIDATION</b>

<b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT</b>: it should be used to change the attributes of selection-screen;

<b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST</b>: it's to trigger a search help;

<b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON HELP-REQUEST</b>: it's to trigger the documentation of an input field.
