OR condition in key while reading internal table..

[Former Member]

Hello,

I want to reading internal table as follows:

READ TABLE i_cust WITH KEY domvalue = it_kna1-NAME1.

I want to read the same table with or condition in key like

domvalue = it_kna1-name1 or domvalue = it_kna1-name2.

How can I do or condition for Keys ?

You can only use READ TABLE statement with equality condition.

You can achieve the desired result in the following way:

READ TABLE i_cust WITH KEY domvalue = it_kna1-NAME1.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
READ TABLE i_cust WITH KEY domvalue = it_kna1-NAME2.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
    PERFORM subroutine1.
 endif.
else.
  PERFORM subroutine1.
endif.

In my case I will have value in either of fields, so I want to read the table with that key which has the value..

if sy-subrc ne 0.
READ TABLE i_cust WITH KEY domvalue = it_kna1-NAME2.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
    PERFORM subroutine1.
 endif.
else.
  PERFORM subroutine1.
endif.

Ok, then you could use a field symbol.

field-symbols: <fs_name> type any.

if it_kna1-NAME1 is not initial.
 assign it_kna1-NAME1 to <fs_name>.
elseif it_kna1-NAME2 is not initial.
 assign it_kna1-NAME2 to <fs_name>.
endif.

READ TABLE i_cust WITH KEY domvalue = <fs_name>.
if sy-subrc = 0.

endif.

You must use a LOOP in this case.

loop at i_cust 
        where domvalue = it_kna1-NAME1
             or  domvalue = it_kna1-name2.
* Do something
exit.  " now exit if at least one line has been read
endif.
