Nested loop in smartforms

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have a issue with nested looping. Based on the quantity in the order item I want to print the number of labels at item level.

i.e Order Item qty

111 10 2 ( I need 2 labels )

111 20 3 ( I need 3 labels )

112 10 5 ( I need 5 labels )

So under the order items loop, I created another loop and and added a program line and tried to manage the 2nd loop by a count. But I failed, I just couldn't get the loop working properly.

How can I control the second loop just by a count and exit it once it reaches a particular value.

Thanks and regards

In the second loop, put the condition on item and order number.

I mean in the whrere clause of the second loop, use the condition item = 1stloop-item

Hi,

You can use counter also

loop at itab.
counter = 10.
loop at itab where sy-tabix <= counter.

endloop.
endloop.

Hope this will work for you

Hi,

There is no itab for second loop. I just want to have a DO WHILE till it reaches a Value. Basically once it reaches the value it should exit from the second loop in the smartform and go to the next item in the first loop. Can i do this without having another itab for the second loop.

Thanks & Regards

Hi

I hope this example is helfull for you:

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB,

NUMBER TYPE ...

ITEM TYPE ...

QTY TYPE ...

END OF ITAB.

DATA TIMES TYPE I.

LOOP AT ITAB.

MOVE ITAB-QTY TO TIMES.

DO TIMES TIMES.

......

ENDDO.

ENDLOOP.

You can use a WHILE cycle:

DATA COUNTER TYPE I.

LOOP AT ITAB.

MOVE ITAB-QTY TO TIMES.

COUNTER = 0.

WHILE COUNTER > TIMES.

......

COUNTER = COUNTER + 1.

ENDWHILE.

ENDLOOP.
