you can try ranges with "CP", this should work for you.

using the ranges with CP option we can do that..

Populate the ranges mentioned below..

data: r_matnr type range of matnr,
        w_matnr like line of r_matnr.
w_matnr-low = '%XXX'.
w_matnr-sign = 'I'.
w_matnr-option = 'CP'.
append w_matnr to r_matnr.
loop at lt_mara into l_mara where matnr in r_matnr.

endloop
