VINOD

Hi,

    Move the data to a new field, then translate them to UPPER CASE or LOWER CASE and then use that variable for comparision.

Ex:-

DATA : lv_name TYPE c LENGTH 15,

             lv_field   TYPE c LENGTH 5.

  lv_field = 'Vinod'.

  TRANSLATE lv_field TO UPPER CASE.

LOOP AT r_name1.

  lv_name = s_name1-low.

  TRANSLATE lv_name TO UPPER CASE.

  IF lv_name1 LIKE lv_field.

    Your logic

  ENDIF.

  CLEAR : lv_name.

ENDLOOP.

Hi,

one possible solution is Select everything by other selection conditions except name. Loop at internal table and convert name to uppercase and check this name exists in your range. Now you can delete record if it is not found in range.

thanks.

Which table you are querying it into ? Check if the table has a field which holds the value in ALL CAPS. In this case, translate everything to caps and query it.

As Raymond said, Search for the available information.

Hi Vishal,

            you can use operators for comparing strings like CS (Contain String).

Refer to the below link for comparing strings with case insensitiveness.
