Function Module

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a Z table with a field with numeric values.

I need to get the highest value from that field.

I feel it'll be a performance issue to select all records & search the highest value by looping.

So, does anyone know any function module which does the same..?

You can select all the records into an internal table and then sort the internal table on the numeric field descending.

1. SELECT using ORDER BY clause into Table directly and read the first entry

2. SELECT into a SORTED Table directly and read the first entry

3. SELECT into a table, SORT manually using SORT command and then read the first entry.

SORT has to happen by the field you are looking for.

Hi,

you may use Select with MAX.

SELECT MATNR MAX(mblnr) into table itab

from mseg

group by matnr

where matnr in s_matnr.

Hi,

Select MAX( <col> ) INTO lv_max

FROM ztable.

DATA: lv_max TYPE ztable-<col>.

hi,

Select all entries of Z table to an internal table.

Sort itab in the descending fashion wrt the field you are looking for highest value

Then you can read the itab with index 1 and that is the highest value of that particular field

Just use a select statement like :

select max( seatsmax ) into l_max from sflight.

use aggregate function while selecting....
