Hi Abhijeet,
Do you always want to add "0010" to the maximum value from that internal table?
If yes, then you can follow the steps mentioned below.
1. Declare temporary internal table and transfer al values from your main internal table to the temporary.
ITAB_TEMP[] = ITAB[].
2. Now Sort the temp table as follows.
SORT ITAB_TEMP BY fieldname DESCENDING.
3. Now if you READ this temp table with INDEX 1, you wil get the maximum value to which you can add the value.
READ TABLE ITAB_TEMP INTO W_ITAB INDEX 1.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  V_MAX = W_ITAB-field + 0010.
ENDIF.
Best Regards,
Ram.
