MIN function

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I need to use MIN to get the minimum of 3 values . I have 3 internal tables with material and price in each interenal table . How can i get the minimum price from these 3 internal tables .

SELECT matnr net_price

INTO TABLE ltab1

FROM ztable1

WHERE matnr = z_matnr

SELECT matnr net_price

INTO TABLE ltab2

FROM Ytable2

WHERE matnr = z_matnr

SELECT matnr net_price

INTO TABLE ltab3

FROM xtable3

WHERE matnr = z_matnr

Loop at t_out

Read table itab1 BINARY SEARCH WITH KEY matnr = t_out-matnr.

Read table itab2 BINARY SEARCH WITH KEY matnr = t_out-matnr.

Read table itab3 BINARY SEARCH WITH KEY matnr = t_out-matnr.

.....

[....How do i get lowest price from these 3 tables ? ]

...

endloop

Thanks ,

Hi Hari,

sort the 3 itabs by net_price and take the first record.

Sort each table by price then read the first record from each table. Then compare these values to get the minimum of all the tables.

Hi,

Move all then data into another internal table (itab4) then sort itab4 by matnr price ascending.

read table itab4 index 1.

Which will give u the lower price .

Cheers.

Another solution would be to add the values of each to another internal table and then sort that internal table and read the first line.

data: begin of tmp_tab occurs 0,
      matnr type mara-matnr,
      stprs type mbew-stprs,
      end of tmp_tabl.


Loop at t_out

clear tmp_tab. Refresh tmp_tab.

Read table itab1 BINARY SEARCH WITH KEY matnr = t_out-matnr.
move-corresponding itab1 to tmp_tab.
append tmp_tab.


Read table itab2 BINARY SEARCH WITH KEY matnr = t_out-matnr.

move-corresponding itab2 to tmp_tab.
append tmp_tab.

Read table itab3 BINARY SEARCH WITH KEY matnr = t_out-matnr.

move-corresponding itab3 to tmp_tab.
append tmp_tab.

.....
[....How do i get lowest price from these 3 tables ? ]
... 

sort tmp_tab ascending by stprs.
read table tmp_tab index 1.
write:/ tmp_tab-stprs, 'is the lowest of the three'.


endloop
