Hi

    x             y
    23           12
     -              -
    23           25
     -             12 

.

sort itab by x.

( so it will get changed like this)

 x             y
           -              -
           -             12
           23           25
            23           12 

delete adjacent dupilcates from itab comparing x.

Thanks and Regards,

Move the blank values (for field x) in your original internal table(itab) to another internal table(itab2) and delete the duplicates from the original internal table(itab). Then append the values back from the new internal table(itab2) back into the original internal table(itab).

Hi,

supppose your internal table is ITAB having fields like X,Y

X Y

10 10

-- 15

10 10

--- 20

15 25.

when you are writing the data.

loop at itab.

if itab-x is not initial.

delete adjacent duplecants from itab comparing x.

write:/ x,

y.

endif.

endloop.

regards.
