sorry,

my q was incomplete.

but for 8 i have not written any logic becz i dint expect this situation,as i am using binary search may this is the problem.if y give me the reason.

Hello

SY-SUBRC = 8:

No entry was read.

This return code only occurs with a SORTED TABLE or a STANDARD TABLE with the BINARY SEARCH addition. SY-TABIX is set to the number of all entries plus 1.

why dont you put ur conditions for like.

if sy-subrc is initial.

and

if sy-subrc is not initial.

This way all the situations will b handeled. as table will be read only in case sy-subrc is inital.

Hi,

Check this,

SY-SUBRC = 0 At least one line was read.

SY_SUBRC = 4 No lines were read.

SY-SUBRC = 8 The search key was not fully qualified.

If you are using binary search, make sure that the table is sorted.

Hi

please check the search creteria you are using.is it valid on the given table.

sy-subrc =8 implies search criteria is not valid

Hi Abhishek,

If the entry was determined with a binary search, and the end of the table was reached, then sy-tabix is set to the number of rows + 1.

Hi,

If

sy-subrc = 4 No lines were read.

sy-subrc = 8 The search key was not fully qualified.

So u can add the logic for sy-subrc = 8 or u can change the logic as

if sy-subrc is initial.

....

else.

...

endif.
