Duplicates From Internal Tabl

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have an internal table with 6 fields and if the first five fields are same then its called a dublicate and I shud collect these duplicates in an other table moving the original to the other internal table. So from the basic Internal table I need to form 2 tables one with originals and the other with duplicates..How do i do this?

Thanks

Hi

Say itab is your first table and

itab2 is table of the same type as itab

wa_itab and wa_itab are work areas of the type of your internal table.

Loop at itab into wa_itab.

clear cnt.

Loop at itab into wa_itab1 where field1 = wa_itab-field1

field2 = wa_itab-field2

field3 = wa_itab-field3

field4 = wa_itab-field4

field5 = wa_itab-field5

cnt = cnt + 1.

If cnt gt 1.

append wa_itab1 to itab2.

DELETE itab from wa_itab1.

endif.

Endloop.

take two internal tables and both should be a copy of the original table.

in one table delete adjacent duplicates comparing the necessary fields.

next loop at the original internal table . read the table in which duplicates are deleted. delete the third table if there are entries in second table.

cheers,

loop at itab1.

if itab1-field1 = itab1-field2.

if itab1-field1 = itab1-field3.

if itab1-field1 = itab1-field4.

if itab1-field1 = itab1-field5.

move corresponding fields of itab1 to itab2.

append itab2.

else.

move corresponding fields of itab1 to itab3.

append itab3.

endif.

else.

move corresponding fields of itab1 to itab3.

append itab3.

endif.

else.

move corresponding fields of itab1 to itab3.

append itab3.

endif.

else.

move corresponding fields of itab1 to itab3.

append itab3.

endif.

clear: iatb1, itab2, itab3.

endloop.

suppose say fld1 , fld2 ,fld3 , fld4 fld5 , fld6  are ur fields

sort itab by fld1 fld2 fld3 fld4 fld5 fld6 

loop at itab.

   at new fld5.
      read table itab index sy-tabix.
     move-corresponding itab to itab1.
     append itab1.
     delete table itab index sy-tabix.
  endat.

endat.


now

itab1  will contain the originals
itab will contain the duplicates

data: ind like sy-tabix.
itab_orig[] = itab[].
sort itab by fld1 fld2 fld3 fld4 fld5.
delete adjacent duplicates from itab comparing fld1 fld2 fld3 fld4 fld5.
loop at itab into wa.
   ind = sy-tabix.
   loop at itab from into wa_tab 
        where fld1 = fld1
        and   fld2 = fld2
        and   fld3 = fld3
        and   fld4 = fld4
        and   fld5 = fld5.
        check sy-tabix gt ind.
        append wa_tab to itab_dup.
        delete itab from wa_tab.
   endloop.
   delete itab.
endloop.

Now, i guess itab_orig should be holding the originals and itab_dup holding duplicate entries.

Please check.

Kind Regards
