sort with out sort command

[Former Member]

How can we sort the internal table with out sort command.

[h_senden2]

I don't think it's possible. You can appending the entries in a sorted way. But when you enter another record that not fit the sorting, you have to sort it with the sort statement.

Why can't you use the sort statement ?

Hi,

When retrieving the data from the database table into internal table, use order by clause to sort the contents,

hi,

use sorted table

[Former Member]

DECLARE A SORTED INTERNAL TABLE.

DATA : ITAB TYPE SORTED TABLE OF MARA WITH UNIQUE KEY MATNR.

Now, whatever data you are inserting into ITAB will be SORTED automatically.

You CANNOT use APPEND statement with SORTED tables, have to use INSERT statement. You don't have to use the SORT statement.
