Using a standard table as an array

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have one  table and it has a 1000 entries
I'd like to take the records from it and split it across to tables so that each of them will have 500 entries.
** /abs/tbl_Exec_Rec is a standard table from the Table Types in the Dictionary

whole type /abs/tbl_Exec_Rec   "This one has 1000 entries

part1  type /abs/tbl_Exec_Rec   "This one will have 500 entries
part2  type /abs/tbl_Exec_Rec   "This one will have 500 entries

In JAVA I don't need a loop to do this I can simply do:

T[] subArray Arrays.copyOfRange(T[] array, int start, int end)

so for my table it'll be something like that:

T[] part1 Arrays.copyOfRange(T[] big, 0, 499)

T[] part2 Arrays.copyOfRange(T[] big, 500, 999)

How can do it in SAP I don't want to use any loops?

Thanks .

Hello izhak

In abap it you can do is:

Example

Table_1 has 1000 rows

Table_2 and Table_3 are auxiliar tables.

*..In table_2 you can copy the rows from 1 to 499

   APPEND LINES OF  Table_1 FROM 1 TO 499 TO Table_2 .

In table_3 you can copy the rows from 500 to 1000

   APPEND LINES OF  Table_1 FROM 500 TO 1000 TO Table_3 .

Hi,

Well the answer is already given...I was just wondering what could be hidden in this java method copyOfRange? Looks a bit like an abap method or a macro where some loop occurs

cheers,

Hi Manu

The method copyOfRange is a method in java . That method use the class System.ArrayCopy and this routine use a method

public static native void arraycopy.

This method is writing in code native for best performance.

Hello Manu,

there are some differences from other languages, so we don't find same things in ABAP. and ABAP has limitations and Flexibilities when compared to others.. when talking about its always good to have scenario  which is related to business. so that there would be some better alternative than in the lines your thinking about.

so have some business scenario  always..
