* How to update a field in Z-Table

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I have requirement as follow plz guide on this whether to use update or modify statement.

I have a Z-table called Zabc with fields-

PERNR BUDAT LIFNR BUKRS

421 01/02/2000 2617 143

422 02/02/2000 2617 143

423 03/03/200 2617 143

424 04/02/2000 3000 143

425 05/02/2000 2617 143

426 06/03/200 2617 143

Now my requirement is in any record If LIFNR = ‘2617’ and BUKRS = ‘143’.

Then I need to change the LIFNR = ‘2000’. For this how to code and what statement to use whether UPDATE or MODIFY?

Finally it has to appear as follows-

421 01/02/2000 2000 143

422 02/02/2000 2000 143

423 03/03/200 2000 143

424 04/02/2000 3000 143

425 05/02/2000 2000 143

426 06/03/200 2000 143

Thanks in advance.

Your suggestions will be rewarded.

Hi,

Use UPDATE statement.

Proceed this way,

Fill all the records which needs to be updated in a internal table.

then use the statement

UPDATE <dbtab> FROM TABLE itab.

Hi

upto my knowledge the difference between Update and Modify is:

Modify will modify the the exising records.

Update will updates if the specified records existed otherwise it will creates the records.

Hi,

1) Update will only update the record in teh database table ,depending upon the condition u specified in the updata command.

it will fail if the record does not exists in the table..mean to say it wil return Sy-subrc as zero then.

2) Modify - will do an update if record exists otherwise it wil create a new record in db table if record does not exists.

Press F1 in ur code on Update or MOdify ,u will find more on tht

go through this link...

Hi,

If you are sure that there will be entries then,

UPDATE ZABC set LIFNR = '2000' where LIFNR = '2617' and BUKRS = '143'.

loop at it_table assigning <fs>.

if ( ( <ls>-lifnr eq '2617' )

and ( <ls>-bukrs eq '143' ) ).

<ls>-lifnr = 2000'.

endif.

endloop.

update z_table from table it_table.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

commit work.

endif.
