Exiting a loop

[Former Member]

This is my code

-

---

loop at itab. ---> loop 1

read table itab2 with key id = itab-id.

if sy-subrc = 4.

exit.

endloop.

Loop at itab3 -

---

>loop 2

endloop

-

---

Now I want that when whenever sy-subrc = 4 in loop 1... the exit should exit the whole block ie loop 2 also...But with my above code it is exiting only the first loop but passing thorught loop 2.

How should I solve my purpose...( Using continue is not helping either)

data : l_flag type c.

loop at itab. ---> loop 1
read table itab2 with key id = itab-id.
if sy-subrc = 4.
l_flag = 'X'.
exit.
endloop.

if l_flag is initial.
Loop at itab3 ---->loop 2
{ exp

}
endloop.
endif.
clear l_flag.

Hi Priya,

Try this way.

data: flag type c.

loop at itab. ---> loop 1

read table itab2 with key id = itab-id.

if sy-subrc = 4.

flag = 'X'.

exit.

endloop.

Loop at itab3 -

---

>loop 2

{ IF flag = 'X'.

exit.

ENDIF.

}

endloop

Hi,

then, you can check the subrc while doing the second loop.

eg:

loop at itab. ---> loop 1

read table itab2 with key id = itab-id.

if sy-subrc = 4.

exit.

endloop.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

Loop at itab3 -

---

>loop 2

endloop

endif.

Hope it helps!!

Pavan - SY-SUBRC will depend on whether or not there are entries in itab, not the READ TABLE itab2 statement.

Hi

If ITAB3 is having relationship with either ITAB1 or ITAB2 then

loop at itab. ---> loop 1

read table itab2 with key id = itab-id.

if sy-subrc = 4.

exit.

else.

read table itab3 with key id = itab-id. or read table itab3 with key id = itab2-id.

if sy-subrc = 0.

*Exp

endif.

endif.

endloop.

The above code will improve the performance.
