Select from an Internal Table.

[Former Member]

Following is my urgent requirement:

I have an Internal Table ITAB with several possible entries of Company Code under its field BUKRS.

From this ITAB I want to display only those records for which the column 'Company Code' occur more than twice and then display those records.

For example:

CC DOCNo

1000 100000011

1000 100000023

1000 120000021

1100 120000031

1100 120000033

1200 120000043

1200 120000055

1200 211130001

In above case I have 3 occurence of 1000 and 1200....so I only want to show their records...while 1100 has only 2 instances...so I want those 2 records to be deleted.

Whats the best way to do this.

I was wondering if there is a way to 'count' the number of records for 'distinct' Company Codes....and if Count > 2 then move those records to a new ITAB.

Please advise,

Thanks,

Rohit.

Try this

DATA: BEGIN OF itab_bukrs occurs 0,

bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,

count TYPE i.

DATA: END OF itab_bukrs.

LOOP AT itab.

itab_bukrs-bukrs = itab-bukrs.

itab_bukrs-count = 1.

COLLECT itab_bukrs.

ENDLOOP.

DELETE itab_bukrs WHERE count < 3.

Now you know which company codes have more than 2 documents. You can either loop at your itab and read this itab_bukrs and proceed only if a record exists in here, else delete itab where bukrs = current itab-bukrs.

LOOP AT itab.

READ TABLE itab_bukrs WITH KEY bukrs = itab-bukrs.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

DELETE itab WHERE bukrs = itab-bukrs.

CONTINUE.

ENDIF.

.... show these records

ENDLOOP.
