Hi Amit,

you can use this condition in the select query but not in the IF condition...

Proceed like this: -

select all the materials starts from K ...

SELECT ...

FROM

INTO ITAB

WHERE matnr LIKE 'k%'.

This will select all materials starts with k inyour internal table ITAB.

Now process your logic on itab...for k materials.

Simillary do the same for M Materials....

retrieve all the materials into one internal table...

after that loop on that internal table and check the condition as per following.

here is a sample report...

REPORT ZNA_TEMP.

data: it_mara type table of mara,

wa_mara like line of it_mara.

data: a type c.

select * from mara into table it_mara up to 100 rows.

loop at it_mara into wa_mara.

a = wa_mara-matnr(+1). " this checks the first character of the variable.

if wa_mara-matnr(1) <> 'M' or wa_mara-matnr(1) <> 'K'.

delete it_mara index sy-tabix.

endif.

endloop.

hi,

select the materials starting with K using the statement...

<b>select * from mara into table itab where matnr like'K%'.</b>

u can use the internal table itab for futher operation..
