select the record from the internal table

[Former Member]

Hello ABAP Experts,

I have two internal tables

itab1

itab2: is the lookup table

itab1 contains field1, field2

itab2 contains field11,field12 and field3

i need to write a logic similar to this

loop itab1 into itab_wa

select the record from itab2 where itab1_wa-field1 lies in between itab2-field11 and itab2-field12

and then assign itab1_wa-field2 = itab2-field3

modify itab1 from itab1_wa

endloop.

Any suggestions highly appreciated.

Thanks,

try this..

assuming itab1 & itab2 have the same no of recs.

data w_index type sy-tabix.
loop itab1 into itab1_wa.
w_index = sy-tabix.
read table itab2 index w_index.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
if itab1_wa-field1 ge itab2-field11 and 
   itab1_wa-field1 le itab2-field12.
itab1_wa-field2 = itab2-field3
modify itab1 from itab1_wa.
endif.
endif.
endloop.

Hi BWer,

Here you go,

Loop itab1 into itab1_wa.

select * from itab2

into itab2_wa

where field11 > itab1_wa-field1

and field12 < itab1_wa-field1.

if sy-subrc = 0.

itab1_wa-field2 = itab2_wa-field3.

modify itab1 from itab1_wa.

endif.

endloop.

Cheers,

Patrick

Thanks Patrick,

just wondering if we can use select statement on a internal table..

please suggest.

>>>select * from itab2?

SELECT is for only database tables & cannot be used on internal tables. You either have to LOOP AT or READ an itab.

>>>but both the tables are different in number of records.. and other contents..

IF the contents are different, how do you link itab1 & itab2. You could be looping that many times...

Hi BWer,

Unfortunately, we cannot use select statement on an internal table, Suresh is right, perhaps you can use LOOP or READ statement on internal table after the data retrieval from database using SELECT statement upfront.

loop itab1 into itab1_wa

loop at itab2 into itab2_wa where

itab1_wa-field1 > itab2_wa-field11 and

itab1_wa-field1 < itab2_wa-field12.

itab1_wa-field2 = itab2_wa-field3.

modify itab1 from itab1_wa transporting field2.

endif.

endloop.

endloop.

Hi,

The code snippet can be like this :

loop at itab1 into itab_wa.

loop at itab2 where field11 < itab_wa-field1 and

field12 > itab_wa-field1.

if sy-subrc = 0.

itab_wa-field2 = itab2-field3.

modify itab1 from itab1_wa.

endif.

endloop.

endloop.
