Hi,

Try this

data: i_aad_tab type standard table zxxv_aad_tab

IF NOT i_aad_tab[] IS INITIAL .

MODIFY zxxv_aad_tab FROM TABLE i_aad_tab.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

• MESSAGE successful update.

LEAVE TO SCREEN '1000'.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

by since my internal table has same types as my database table the primary key is the same

note: the sy-subrc = 4 and i don't know why

Hi,

Check SY-DBCNT value after UPDATE, it will give the number of records updated

Also check SY-SUBRC

If, in the database, there is no row with the same content of the primary key for a row in the internal table, or if the change would lead to a double entry in a unique secondary key, the respective row is not changed and sy-subrc is set to 4. If the internal table is empty, sy-subrc is set to 0

use MODIFY and checkout if it works

thanks for the tips SY-DBCNT it's because i am updating a field which is the primary key

[Former Member]

That means atleast one line of ut internal table entry is not matching database strcture enrty..check it out once

i am updating a field which is also a primary key in my database table

. i used modify and it created a new record which i don't want . and with update it won't undate since if i make changes to primary key it doesn't find the record .

not being able to use update and modify . i think the only option is to remove promary key in the field that i am updating . i need your advise?

[JozsefSzikszai]

you can select all entries from table zxxv_aad_tab into an internal table and than loop through i_aad_tab and check if the entry you created exists already in the DB (i. e. READ TABLE with key fields), than if sy-subrc is not zero, than you can delete from your internal table.

something like this:

DATA : gt_aad_tab TYPE HASHED TABLE OF zxxv_aad_tab

WITH UNIQUE KEY (list key fields here).

SELECT * FROM zxxv_aad_tab INTO gt_aad_tab.

LOOP AT i_aad_tab.

READ TABLE gt_aad_tab WITH KEY all key field TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

*delete entry from i_aad_tab

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

[Former Member]

no i can't do that since what ever the record i am selecting i need to change the value of one of the primary key fields

the purpose is to update the database value

Hi,

Just to make sure, have you checked if that Z table has the keys defined correctly (SE11), otherwise your abap statements won't work as expected if table definition is not defined as required.

Hope it helps.
