hi,

I think u are using control break statements for calculating F2. example

at new f2...if that is the case your work area wouldnt carry the values for the f3 and f4 components.

any how check the values in wa in the modify statement that will answer many questions of yours.

Hi,

i think first u need to read the contents of the internal table into the workarea. and then make the changes of the field f2. update the workarea. then u can use the modify statement using the wa.

MODIFY dbtab FROM wa.

i think it will help u out.

else u can just use transporting the fields to the database table.

Hello,

Can you paste your code,then it will be easier to lcaote the exact issue in program.

Actually field value will be reset if there another activity check is there in program (or control working in the loop e.g. at first,at new field etc.).If your code has something simialr to it,then transfer contents of those fields in other variables defined globally.& then after control statement transfer these value to your reqd fields for print.

Thanks.

Use the statement as below

UPDATE Ztable SET f2 = wa-f2

f3 = wa-f3

f4 = wa-f4

WHERE f1 = wa-f1.

commit work.
