clear collected value

[Former Member]

hi

after the collect statement, may i know what is the best practice to initialise(clear) the field that not intended for the collect. i have 6 fields which are type DEC. the internal table is like a structure where the numeric fields are type DEC.

I only want 4 out of 6 fields to accumulate the value whereas another 2 i do not want as these 2 fields not large enough to store the accumulated value and also these 2 are not meant to accumulate value.

I cannot make the 2 fields to character field as i use itab like table occurs 0.

i just want comment what method i can use after the collect statement to initialise (clear) the other 2 fields.

thanks

Hi,

What I thin u can do is that in the loop where u r collecting the internal table, prior to that clear the both fields which are not required to be collected.

e.g. CLEAR : ITAB-B, ITAB-C.

COLLECT ITAB.

In this case the ITAB-B and C fields will always contain initial value.

Hope it helps.

Hi..,

suppose A,B,C,D,E,F are the fields and u dont want E and F to get accumulated ...

just before the collect statement clear those two fields..

<b>clear : wa_itab-E, wa_itab-F.

collect wa_itab to itab.</b>

reward all helpful answers..

Hi..

loop at itab.

collect itab into itab.

clear: itab-5, itab-6.

modify itab index sy-tabix from itab transporting itab-5 itab-6.

endloop.

try this,...
