Hello Saranya,

You wrote:

Try the stmt as:

IF ITAB[] IS NOT INITIAL.
* Code ur logic
ENDIF.

To address the table body instead of the header line in a statement, you can append [] e.g., ITAB[]

For internal tables without header line, the table body is always used

Hi,

Refresh: itab will clear the header.

Hi,

You might have declared the internal table with header line..so in that case your condition should be like this ..

IF NOT itab[] IS INITIAL.
" Do processing
ENDIF.

hi,

Make sure that the check your performing is with respect to the body of the table

i.e.

if you are using a internal table with a header line, the condition should go like this

if t_tab[] is not initial.

endif.

where t_tab is a internal table with header line and if the table has got entries in it this condition shall work.

Hi,

Test the following Code hope will solve out your problem,

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_test,
  name(50),
END OF t_test.

DATA: it TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_test WITH HEADER LINE.

it-name = 'AAA'.
APPEND it TO it.
it-name = 'BBB'.
APPEND it TO it.
it-name = 'CCC'.
APPEND it TO it.

CLEAR: it,    " TO clear the Header
       it[].  " To Clear the Body.


IF it IS INITIAL.

  WRITE: / 'Header is Clear'.

ENDIF.

IF it[] IS INITIAL.

  WRITE: / 'Body is Clear'.

ENDIF.

Kind Regards,

Faisal

Code is

loop at gi_final.

clear gi_table.

if gt_table is not initial.

perform process.

endif.

endloop.

the value present in gi_table is

0000

000

00000000

00000000

0

0.00

0071 |**** |*********|** |*******|*******| 0 | 0.00 |

if gt_table is not initial.

right

if gi_table is not initial.

and loop at gi_table only to have value in the header.

Have declared gt_final as internal table as

DATA: BEGIN OF gt_final OCCURS 0,

some fields

end of gt_final

[Former Member]

hi,

taking gt_final as ur internal table,

gt_table as ur header...

so in order to check whether ur internal table has values or not..

u should write

if gt_final[] is not initial.

perform process..

endif..

to clear 0's in ur header , u can refresh it...

Check if you have given [] after ITAB.

[Former Member]

Hi Saranya,

As far as i have understood you are using a table with header line....

If so.... then please check if your condition with if is similar to the one give below

data: itab type table of <structure_name> with header line.

if itab[] is not initial.

• your statement follows here *****

endif.

hope this resolves your issue

Hi,

You should write the code in below way. Consider ITAB is your internal table.

IF not ITAB[] is initial.

do some processing.

ENDIF.

Remember [] indicates internal table body. Internal table having Header & Body. Header contains one record at a time whereas body can multiple.
