MODIFY TABLE does not work..

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a structure for which I create a work area as well an internal table.

When I populate the work area, the value is filled in for the field status But when i try to do an update of the internal table based on the work area value, the internal table's status is not getting populated and is empty. Why ? I am using MODIFY TABLE itab FROM workarea.

TYPES: BEGIN OF st1,

vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln,

status(15) TYPE C,

END OF st1.

DATA: ss1 TYPE TABLE OF st1,

workarea TYPE st1.

DATA: l_status TYPE C.

• data is selectd and filled in ss1.

LOOP AT ss1 INTO workarea.

CLEAR: l_status.

SELECT SINGLE field INTO l_status

FROM tablenm

WHERE vbeln = workarea-vbeln.

IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.

CASE l_status.

WHEN 'A'.

workarea-status = 'Not yet process'.

WHEN 'C'.

workarea-status = 'Completed'.

ENDCASE.

ENDIF.

MODIFY TABLE ss1 FROM workarea.

ENDLOOP.

Either use APPEND <work are> to <internal Table> or Use MODIFY with the TRANSPORTING statement.

Hi ,

Use the option ( TRANSPORTING .... Field names ) in your MODIFY statemant.

try this :

TYPES: BEGIN OF st1,
vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln,
status(15) TYPE C,
END OF st1.

DATA: ss1 TYPE TABLE OF st1,
workarea TYPE st1.
DATA: l_status TYPE C.

    * data is selectd and filled in ss1.
data: lv_tabix type sy-tabix.


LOOP AT ss1 INTO workarea.

lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
CLEAR: l_status.
SELECT SINGLE field INTO l_status
FROM tablenm
WHERE vbeln = workarea-vbeln.
IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
CASE l_status.
WHEN 'A'.
workarea-status = 'Not yet process'.
WHEN 'C'.
workarea-status = 'Completed'.
ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
MODIFY TABLE ss1 FROM workarea TRANSPORTING status index lv_tabix.
ENDLOOP.
