validate Internal table

[Former Member]

I have Internal table having 2000 entries.

Itab has four fields

MATNR werks desc priority.

The four column field priority has values u20181u2019 u20182u2019 and u20183u2019.

In the Internal table i need to check if value u20181u2019 does not exist in the internal table need to show as error.

I am using read table itab into wa_tab where priority NE u20181u2019.

If sy-subrc NE 0.

Write u2018Erroru2019.

Endif.

In the loop can we can use or any method do let me know.

SORT ITAB.

READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY PRIORITY = '1' 
TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
  WRITE: / 'Error'.
ENDIF.

You can use:

LOOP AT itab WHERE priority EQ '1'.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.
* error
ENDIF.

But I like Suhas' solution better

Hi, try this.

SORT itab By priority.

READ TABLE itab INDEX 1.

IF itab-priority <> '1'.

MESSAGE ..... TYPE 'E'.

ENDIF.
