Hi

DATA :

BEGIN OF fs_name,

empnam TYPE string,

END OF fs_name.

DATA :

t_name LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF fs_name.

CLEAR fs_name.

fs_name-empnam = 'XYZ'.

APPEND fs_name TO t_name.

CLEAR fs_name.

fs_name-empnam = 'XYZ'.

APPEND fs_name TO t_name.

CLEAR fs_name.

fs_name-empnam = 'ABC'.

APPEND fs_name TO t_name.

CLEAR fs_name.

fs_name-empnam = 'ABC'.

APPEND fs_name TO t_name.

CLEAR fs_name.

fs_name-empnam = 'XYZ'.

APPEND fs_name TO t_name.

CLEAR fs_name.

fs_name-empnam = 'XYZ'.

APPEND fs_name TO t_name.

SORT t_name.

LOOP AT t_name INTO fs_name.

WRITE :

/ fs_name-empnam.

ENDLOOP.

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM t_name.

skip 5.

LOOP AT t_name INTO fs_name.

WRITE :

/ fs_name-empnam.

ENDLOOP.

Hi Rachel,

What you are doing is right! But try to mention the Field name while sorting and also use the Comparing option in your DELETE Adjacent ...statement. So, now ur statements would be like the one below :

Sort IT_FINAL by empname.

Delete adjacent duplicates from it_final comparing empname.

This will definitely solve.

Hi Friend,

First you need to sort the table using emp_name and then use DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES.

Try the following:

SORT it_final by emp_name.

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM it_final COMPARING emp_name.

Hi,

Use the code below.

sort it_final in ascending by emp_name.

delete adjacent duplicates from it_final comparing emp_name
