Hi Srinivas,

The Read Stmt would fail here giving the SY-SUBRC = 4: No entry was read.

Srini,

You should first check the no of records and then issue the read as:

Describe table <itab> lines <line No>.

if <line no> GE 5.

READ TABLE <itab> INDEX 5.

endif.

Hi

<b>READ statement will execute and return the SY_SUBRC value as not ZERO

that means READ condition fails to find that INDEX

it won't give any values</b>

<b>REward if usefull</b>
