Read table - identify no match

[Former Member]

Hi

I have got a read table statement with a where clause. The thing is that I have do one thing if there is exactly one match and another thing if there is not match.

As I understand the sy-subrc returns 0 if the query was executed correct. Due to this I will get a sy-subrc=0 if there is no match. So how do I check weather there is one or no matches in the read table statement?

Hi,

The sy-subrc will be greater than zero if there is no entry for the corresponding match..

Example

-

---

READ TABLE T_MARA WITH KEY MATNR = '12121'.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

WRITE: / 'Entry found for the corresponding material'.

ELSE.

WRITE: / 'Entry NOT found'.

ENDIF.

Hi,

You can code like this:

READ TABLE T_MARA WITH KEY MATNR = '12121'.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

WRITE: / 'One Entry Found'.

ELSEIF SY-SUBRC =1.

WRITE: / '2 ENTRIES FOUND'.

ELSEIF SY-SUBRC =2.

WRITE: / '3 ENTRIES FOUND'.

ELSEIF SY-SUBRC =3.

WRITE: / 'MORE THAN 3 ENTRIES FOUND'.

ELSE

WRITE: / 'NO ENTRIES FOUND'.

ENDIF.

iF HELPS PLS MARK POINTS.

To Check if there is exactly one match or no mat at all:

read table itab with key field = <value>.

if sy-subrc = 0.

write:/ 'One match'.

else.

write:/ 'No match'.

endif.

Check for Not even one match/ atleast one match

loop at itab where field = <value>.

exit.

endloop.

if sy-subrc = 0.

write:/ 'Atleast one match'.

else.

write:/ 'No matches at all'.

endif.

Try:

DATA: next    LIKE sy-tabix,
      counter TYPE i,
      old_key LIKE itab-f1.

SORT itab BY f1.

READ TABLE itab WITH KEY
  f1 = 'whatever'
  BINARY SEARCH.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  WRITE 'No matches'.
ELSE.
  next    = sy-tabix + 1.
  old_key = itab-f1.
  READ TABLE itab INDEX next.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    IF itab-f1 = old_key.
      WRITE 'More than one match'.
    ELSE.
      WRITE 'Exactly one match'.
    ENDIF.
  ELSE.
    WRITE 'Exactly one match'.
  ENDIF.
ENDIF.
