Read statement with repeated key field

[Former Member]

Hi Experts ,

We are in the process of UCCHECK in an upgrade program and come across an issue with read statement using repeated key fields which is not allowed in a unicode compatable environment.

READ TABLE it_vbpa WITH KEY

vbeln = l_vbeln

parvw = '0'

parvw = 'ZN'.

I checked this in 4.6c environment and observed that the Read statement uses the last key value for reading and doesnt consider other values even if the last value is not present in the table .

I want to know if I can use only that last value for read statement ? If so, what was the use of the repeated key fields in a read statement?

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Your main aim in a upgrade would be to successfully replicate the 4.6x functionalities in the ECC 6 version with the unicode checks. So it would be a safe option to only consider the last key condition. I dont have access to a 4.6C environment. May be it was a mistake corrected by SAP in the new version.
