Hi Radha,

For this type of scenario lets say suppose we have populated two internal table

itab1 ---> messages contains 20 to 30 lines.

Itab2 -

---

> fetch from the database.

Now what you have to do is

Loop at itab2.
 Read table itab1 with key message = < message>
 If sy-subrc = 0.
  write:/ itab2-message.
 endif.
Endloop.

hi,

use the string comparing function 'CS'

if itab-field CS dbtab-field.

write itab-field.

endif.

Hi Subramaninan,

with write statement we are writing text to list but it is having space infront of the text,

How we delete the space infront of text before write statement.

eg: -

---

rama.

here assume '----

---

' this is pace.
