Hi Kranthi,

You can sort the internal table by date field. and get the first record's date. That will fetch you the recent date.

Hope it will solve your problem.

Hi Kranthi / Sankar,

Sorting the internal table by the data field and fetching the first record seems to be the best approach.

Hi,

Try this.

You can use >,<,etc.,

loop at itab into wa.

if sy-tabix = 1 or v < wa-date.

v = wa-date.

endif.

endloop.

write 'Recent', v.
