select distinct fields into itab

[Former Member]

Is it possible to create a select distinct statement for a structure where only one field should be distinct.

example:

data: ta_vbrk type standard table of vbrk. 

select vbeln vkorg vtweg (distinct kunag)
  into corresponding fields of ta_vbrk
  where auart = 'xxxx'
     and vtweg = 'yy'

My goal is to fill out the four fields ta_vbrk record but only for the kunag once.

I hope that's clear. It's hard to state when you don't know how to do it

If you have

A B E

F G E

X Y E

M N F

How should the result look like having only column3 as a distinct value?

? ? E

? ? F

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for replying.

In your example, I would want

A B E

M N F

Select all rows and then do a delete duplicates on column3 afterwards. There is no such functionality in SQL. Do not forget to sort the internal table before deleting the duplictaes.

Yup. That's what I did. I was just hoping to minimize the traffic across the network. But, I guess it's not possible.
