How to fetch *nicely* 2 values from ITAB-Row?

[Timo_John]

I started this already via Twitter how to fetch or map two values from an internal table if you are not interested in the whole line

Input:     lt_vbpa   (just an internal table with some more columns )

target:     lv_kunn  (two fields to be filled ... needed for next method or something.

               lv_land1

Of cause there are lots of solutions, we could make a list out of it, but key is to have FAST, short an understandable code

80s style:

Read Table lt_vbpa assigning <fs>  Key ...

lv_kunnr = <fs>-kunnr.

lv_land1  = <fs>-land1.

New >7.40

lv_kunnr = lt_vbpa[ parvw = "WE" ]-kunnr

lv_land1  = lt_vbpa[ parvw = "WE" ]-land1

* but worse 2 read operations in ITAB performance issue in mass processing.

Via Twitter I did receive some Ideas:

New >7.40 feat. se38

Read Table ltvbpa assigning <fs>  Key ...

assign lt_vbpa[ parvw = "WE" ] to <fs>.

lv_kunnr = <fs>-kunnr.

lv_land1  = <fs>-land1.

* Nicer, one read on the itab only, but still tree lines of code

Solution by enno.wulff

* Also nicer but quite some coding overhead... and again with the performance issue of two reads.

I still do not see a great Idea to do this in a nice way in two lines of code (pls. no #Macros, or two statemts in one line ideas ...)

Thanks for the two of you for your Ideas!
