Fetching record number (INDEX) in READ TABLE

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have one internal table with 40000 records.

Now I want to read the particular record with key. So I am using

READ TABLE  TABNAME  WITH  KEY  FIELD = 'XYZ'.

But I want the record number (INDEX of int table or SY-TABIX in LOOP....ENDLOOP) of selected record.

I can find it using Loop ...Endloop...

But that int table is huge, So this option is not suitable.............

Could anybody suggest me an alternative.......

Thanks.................

you can create one more field in your internal table and use count in that field whenever you fetch the record get the count field value also so that you will get the index

hi

declare a global variable of type int and after you read teh record with

READ TABLE TABNAME WITH KEY FIELD = 'XYZ'.

if sy-subrc = 0, assign the sy-tabix value to that global variable.

the sy-tabix returns the table index of the record whether u use it in loop-endloop or with read statement.

Hi,

Try like this...

READ TABLE  TABNAME  WITH  KEY  FIELD = 'XYZ'.
lv_index = sy-tabix.

Hope its helps

Hello

READ TABLE  TABNAME  WITH  KEY  FIELD = 'XYZ'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
  INDEX = SY-TABIX. " SY-TABIX - record number
ENDIF.

Hi,

try this .

data w_index type i.

READ TABLE TABNAME WITH KEY FIELD = 'XYZ'.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

w_index = sy-tabix.( This holds the index number of the record )

endif.

Hi,

Why you want to use another loop-endloop forreading the sy-tabix when after the the same READ statement you can read the sy-tabix that gives the index of the current record.

Is there anything else you wan to do?
