Select max from internal table

[Former Member]

Hi,

i have the following internal table :

Matnr werks lgort year period

|000000000007000007|3010 |100 |2008 | 04

|000000000007000007|3010 |100 |2008 | 05

|000000000007000007|3010 |500 |2008 | 05

|000000000007000008|3010 |100 |2008 | 05

|000000000007000008|3010 |500 |2006 | 05

|000000000007000008|3010 |500 |2008 | 05

i need the following result :

000000000007000007|3010 |100 |2008 | 05

000000000007000007|3010 |500 |2008 | 05

000000000007000008|3010 |100 |2008 | 05

000000000007000008|3010 |500 |2008 | 05

it means that i need the max "period" for each matnr werks lgort year.

i can sort the table by matnr werks lgort year period DESCENDING.

An then, what is the step ?

thanks a lot, full points if helpul,

Mário.

Hi,

The best way would be in selection with MAX and GROUP BY.

You wrote right, using sort, after using loop with comparing the fields changes.

Hope it helps.

After your sort use:

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM itab COMPARING matnr werks lgort year.

and you will have the result you want.

Hi Mario,

Here it is...

1.First you have to sort itab by all the 5 field with period alone as descending.

2.While Deleting adjacent duplicates remove "period" field.

sample code:

Sort itab by matnr werks lgort year period descending.*

Delete Adjacent duplicates from itab comparing matnr werks lgort year.
