MANIPULATING INTERNAL TABLE...

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a internal table I_TAB[] as follows:

ID--VALUE---ATTRIBUTE

P1--36--

---

D

P3--34--

---

Y

P9--32--

---

J

I want to do a mass change in the ID value of this internal table such that, all the IDs get changed

to 'PA' as follows. I don't want to loop at the internal table, pas value to work area and then one by one from peformcne standpoint.

ID--VALUE---ATTRIBUTE

PA--36--

---

D

PA--34--

---

Y

PA--32--

---

J

Regards,

Rajesh.

There no single statement which can do this as the data in each row will be different and will have to be changed individually. The best way I can think of is using field symbols

Loop at itab assigning <fs>.

****Statement

endloop.

You need to use work area as follows... otherwise i guess its not possible.. Do F1 on Modify and explore

Try this...

DATA: WA_ITAB TYPE ITAB.

WA_ITAB-ID = 'PA'.
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA_ITAB TRANSPORTING ID.

Thanks,

Try this code:

w_tab-id = 'PA'.

modify i_tab from w_tab transporting id

where id NE 'PA'.

Update itab SET ID = 'PA'.

I will vote for

LOOP AT I_TAB[]  ASSIGNING <FS>.
<FS>-ID = 'PA'.
ENDLOOP.
