LOOP AT internal table with WHERE clause

[Former Member]

Hi @ll

I have the bellow statement and I need the LIKE but from syntax point of view this is not allowed. How can I find a field with a proximate content.

LOOP AT itab_report_test WHERE sdata LIKE 'It works good, change'.

Thanks for your help in advance

Then you will need to try the 2nd option I provided.

loop..
  check field CS 'xxxx'.
*  process
endloop.

Try with %

LOOP AT itab_report_test WHERE sdata LIKE '%It works good, change%'.

Otherwise..

LOOP AT yourtable.
  CHECK yourtable-sdata CS 'It works good, change'
*  process
ENDLOOP.

Hi,

when I write this

LOOP AT itab_report_test WHERE sdata LIKE '%It works good, change%'.

it then says

Relational operator "LIKE" is not supported.

Hi,

LIKE operator is not allowed in LOOP statement.

do like this..

Loop at itab.

find first occurrence of 'Its works good, change' in itab-sdat.

if sy-subrc = 0.

do ut thing.......

endif.

endloop.

Hello,

Instead of

LOOP AT itab_report_test WHERE sdata LIKE 'It works good'

Try something like :

LOOP AT itab_report_test WHERE sdata CS 'It works good'.
