Finding Min value in an table using SY-TABIX variable.

[praveen_kumar334]

Hi Team,

I have a requirement where i want to find the min value( combination of both date and time) based on a transaction number using sy-tabix variable. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Below is the pseudo code, i am using to get the max value.

current output

Expected output for Min value :

lv_tabix_temp  = 1.
SORT RESULT_PACKAGE BY /bic/tnr       ASCENDING
                       /bic/zerdat    ASCENDING
                       /bic/zerzetims ASCENDING.
 LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <result_fields>. 
 lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
     LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE INTO wa_result_package FROM
                lv_tabix_temp WHERE /bic/zrpa_tnr = <result_fields>-/bic/zrpa_tnr.               
                lv_tabix_temp = sy-tabix.
    ENDLOOP.
        IF lv_tabix = lv_tabix_temp.
            <result_fields>-/bic/flag = 'X'.        
        ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

If you make a Sort by TNR & ZERDAT & ZERZETIMS ascending, the first row of new TNR will be the lower values of ZERDAT & ZERZETIMS

So you don't need to play with SY-TABIX or do several LOOP on the same internal table.

Hi Girod,

Yes, we can do that with sort. But I want to achieve that with SY-TABIX because of some other dependency. Any input on SY-TABIX will be of great help.

You have proposed a code with a SORT

Otherwise you could also add a new sorted key on the internal table.

If it is a lesson exercise and you have to follow stupid rules, just say it
