read table

[Former Member]

i have to read a internal table with two key values for the same field.

itab contains the following records:

<f1> <f2> <f3>

val1 x x

val2 x x

val3 x x

for <f1> = val1 or val2 i want to read itab.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> =val1 or val2. this stmt doesnt work..so how can i do it?

hi

u cannot read the record in that way.

loop the internal table.

use if -endif condition to check the same.

u r code only excetues but small modification is needed i.e.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> =val1 or <f1> =val2.

its enough..

Hi

Try like this.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> = val1

or <f1> = val2.

Read the internal table twice ...

read table itab into wa with key f1 = val1.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

read table itab into wa with key f1 = val2.

endif.

Hi,

read will get u only one record at a time.

if u want to check whether the record is existing or not with both the case do like below.

read table itab with key <f1> = 'VAL1'.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
  read table itab with key <f1> = 'VAL2'.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    "ur logic
    endif.
else.
*ur logic
endif.

rgds,

hi you cannot use OR in read table.

to perform what you want you can do like tis.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> .

if sy-subrc <> 0.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> val2.

endif.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> =val1 or <f1> =val2. does not work

i have used two read stmts ie.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> =val1.

read table <itab>into <wa> with key <f1> =val2 .
