what is the AT EVENT in CONTROL BRK EVENTS
2007 Oct 24 6:07 PM
Hi,
Check this out -
AT - Control breaks with internal tables
Variants:
AT NEW f.
AT END OF f.
AT FIRST.
AT LAST.
Effect
In a LOOP which processes an internal table, 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 internal tables only if a loop is actively processing an internal table and reference is to the innermost currently active loop.
The control level structure with internal tables is static. It corresponds exactly to the sequence of columns in the internal table (from left to right). In this context, the criteria according to which you sort the internal table are unimportant.
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 character type 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 numeric fields (see also ABAP 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. With LOOPs on extracts, there are also special control break control structures you can use.
Note
Non-Catchable Exceptions:
SUM_OVERFLOW: Overflow when calculating totals with SUM.
Variant 1
AT NEW f.
Variant 2
AT END OF f.
Compatible Work Area with Control Level Processing and Field Symbols Not Allowed as Control Level Criterion.
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 different value than in the preceding ( AT NEW) or subsequent (AT END OF) table line.
Example
TYPES: BEGIN OF COMPANIES_TYPE,
NAME(30),
PRODUCT(20),
SALES TYPE I,
END OF COMPANIES_TYPE.
DATA: COMPANIES TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF COMPANIES_TYPE WITH
NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 20,
WA_COMPANIES TYPE COMPANIES_TYPE.
...
LOOP AT COMPANIES INTO WA_COMPANIES.
AT NEW NAME.
NEW-PAGE.
WRITE / WA_COMPANIES-NAME.
ENDAT.
WRITE: / WA_COMPANIES-PRODUCT, WA_COMPANIES-SALES.
AT END OF NAME.
SUM.
WRITE: / WA_COMPANIES-NAME, WA_COMPANIES-SALES.
ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.
The AT statements refer to the field COMPANIES-NAME.
Notes
1. 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.
2. By defining an offset and/or length, you can further restrict control break criteria - regardless of whether they are specified statically or dynamically.
3. 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.
If you use AT within a LOOP with an explicitly-specified output area, the area must be compatible with the line type of the internal table so that it can be initialized properly (as described above) at the start of a new control level.
You can restrict control break criteria further, regardless of whether they were defined statically or dynamically, by specifying offset and/or length.
Note
Non-Catchable Exceptions:
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
TYPES: BEGIN OF COMPANIES_TYPE,
NAME(30),
PRODUCT(20),
SALES TYPE I,
END OF COMPANIES_TYPE.
DATA: COMPANIES TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF COMPANIES_TYPE WITH
NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 20,
WA_COMPANIES TYPE COMPANIES_TYPE.
...
LOOP AT COMPANIES INTO WA_COMPANIES.
AT FIRST.
SUM.
WRITE: 'Sum of all SALES:',
55 WA_COMPANIES-SALES.
ENDAT.
WRITE: / WA_COMPANIES-NAME, WA_COMPANIES-PRODUCT,
55 WA_COMPANIES-SALES.
ENDLOOP.
