Hi all,
I have a requirement where i must spilt the number of records in my internal table itab .Say if i have 2000 records , i must spilt it taking the first 990 records and doing some posting using Bapi and again take the next 990 records and do the posting .Can some one help me out.
Good answers will be rewarded with points.

Hi,
You can use these instructions using two internal tables, but please be aware to not forget any line.
REFRESH my_table2.
APPEND LINES OF my_table FROM 1 TO 990 TO my_table2.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI'....
(with my_table2)
REFRESH my_table2.
APPEND LINES OF my_table FROM 991 TO my_table2.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI'....
(with my_table2)

hi
one way is
data field type i.
Decribe table itab lines field.
write: / field.
displays the no of records in tha internal table
or if u want to write logic.
data:
w_count type i.
loop at itab.
w_count = w_count + 1.
endloop.
write: / w_count.
displays the no of records.

To count number of records in an internal table for a condition

Hello All,
I want to count number of records in an internal table for a condition.
For e.g. -- I have one internal table IT which having fields F1, F2, F3, F4, F5.
Now, I want number of records in itnternal table IT where F1 = 'ABC'.
Is it possible to do..?? If yes, then how.??
Thanks in advance...!!
Regards,
Poonam.

Hi,
If you mean an internal table, there are a few ways to do this.
1 One would be to loop over the table with a WHERE clause and increment a counter.
data: lv_counter type i.
clear lv_counter.
loop at itab where fld1 = 'ABC'.
lv_counter = lv_counter + 1.
endloop.
lv_counter now has the number of rows per the condiction.
2 Well, you may want to try this as well, and compare to the LOOP way. Not sure what kind of overhead you may get doing this way. Here ITAB is our main internal table, and ITAB_TMP is a copy of it. Again I think there may be some overhead in doing the copy. Next, delete out all records which are the reverse of your condition. Then whatever is left is the rows that you want to count. Then simply do a LINES operator on the internal table, passing the number of lines to LV_COUNT.
data: itab type table of ttab.
data: itab_tmp type table of ttab.
itab_tmp[] = itab[].
delete table itab_tmp where fld1 'ABC'.
lv_count = lines( itab_tmp ).

Store the vital info from the absence quota record in an internal table

Hi experts,
I want to detrmine if the Absence records (PA2001 rec) deduction from date (PA2001-BEGDA) and absence to date (PA2001-ENDDA) are permissible for the validity period of the Absence Quota record (the PA2006 rec). If the quotas deduction from date, PA2006-DESTA, is greater than the PA2001-BEGDA, we then need to identify this absence quota record for change and change the deduction from date, PA2006-DESTA, to be the same as PA2001-BEGDA. Store the vital info from the absence quota record in an internal table and record the new date that the deduction from date that needs to be changed to. The changes will be made via a BDC session.
Please help me out...
Thanks,
Vicky

This looks possible if we code it in 'dynamic action' table, but the BDC may not read it during run time.
Do you still have this issue?
Thanks

Max number of records in an internal table

Hi,
Can any one tell me what is the Max Number of records we can get into an internal table.
if you have any link of sap help on this please FWD.
thanks in Adv.

Lakshmikanth.T.V

Hi lakshmikanth,
Internal Tables as Dynamic Data Objects
Internal tables are always completely specified regarding row type, key and access type. However, the number of lines is not fixed. Thus internal tables are dynamic data objects, since they can contain any number of lines of a particular type. The only restriction on the number of lines an internal table may contain are the limits of your system installation. The maximum memory that can be occupied by an internal table (including its internal administration) is 2 gigabytes. A more realistic figure is up to 500 megabytes. An additional restriction for hashed tables is that they may not contain more than 2 million entries. The line types of internal tables can be any ABAP data types - elementary, structured, or internal tables. The individual lines of an internal table are called table lines or table entries. Each component of a structured line is called a column in the internal table.

keerthi.

How to count and display the number of records in a database table

My webpage has a list of items and their details, every item has a button
Read / Make comments that loads the item in its own page displaying
a comments form and previous comments.
This is all working fine.
I would like to add to each item information stating how many comments have
been made about that item.
Allowing the user to see before hand if it is worth while clicking on the
Read / Make comments button.
Ideally each item will have a different number of comments.
The problem I have is outputing the number of comments associated with each item.
My comments table is called guest my items table is called titles.
I'm sure mysql statement is correct -
The table guest currently has 7 comments,
Item 1 has 3 comments
Item 2 has 2 comments
Item 3 has 1 comment
Item 4 has 1 comment
When I test the query in dreamweaver
$Recordset1 = "SELECT COUNT(guest.software_id) as COUNT, titles.id FROM titles LEFT JOIN guest ON titles.id = guest.software_id GROUP BY guest.software_id";
the outoput is a list showing 2, 3, 1, 1
My problem is, getting the totals into my repeat region.
I tried the following line
<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#e5f8cb">Current comments:<?php echo $row_Recordset1['COUNT']; ?></td>
resulting in all comments so far displaying 0
I have highlighted in bold the parts that I am having difficulty with.

I changed the mysql as you suggested GROUP BY titles.id
and added a while loop to iterate over the data
mysql_select_db($database_abe, $abe);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT COUNT(guest.software_id) as COUNT, titles.id FROM titles LEFT JOIN guest ON titles.id = guest.software_id GROUP BY titles.id";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $abe) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1) or die(mysql_error());
<td>Current comments:<?php
if($row_Recordset1)
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($row_Recordset1))
echo $row['COUNT'];
} ?></td>
The first item now displays the following,
comments:2311000000000000000000000000000
all others
comments:
the number matched the database table exactly, 30 records 4 of which have 2, 3, 1, 1 comments.
It looks as if the problem is trying to get the repeat region to pick up on it!

Count the Records in an internal table without a loop.

How do i count the number of records in an internal table without using the loop statement.
The Describe statement give the total no. of records in the internal table.But i want the count of the key fields in the internal table
For eg
Row Field
1       A
2       A
3       A
4       B
5       B
6       C
Count of A = 3
Count of B = 2
Count of C = 1

Dilip,
I think isn't posible. Only 3 ideas:
1ª, make other table "table2", similar to your actual table.
     table2[] = yourtable[].
     delete table2 where key <> 'A'.
     describe table table2 lines contA.
    But depending the amount of data, you may have problems in performance or memory consumption...
2ª, make other table, only with the keys fields and a count field,
    data begin table2
       key_field1,
       cont type i.
    end data.
   when you append lines to yourdata, make a collect to this table:
    table2-keys = yourtable-keys.
    table2-cont = 1.
   collect table2.
   But only works if you can modify the program where data is appended, and you may be carefull when data is deleted :-(...
3ª if your data if filled in a select, you may fill the table2 of point 2ª, making a similar select but:
   select keyfields count( * ) into table table2
from ...
where (the same you have to fill your original table...)
   group by keys.
But you have the same problem is data is deleted later...
I hope that any of the three is useful for you...

Number of records in a standard table

Hi,
How to find number of records, without fetching them into a internal table?
is there any command for that?
I want to know the number of records of a standard table in a report.
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to know the number of records in your internal table after select statement.
You can use the below statement.
data : wa_lines like sy-tfill.
DESCRIBE TABLE itab LINES WS_LINES.
In wa_lines you will have the number of records.
If you want to know the number of records from standard itself.
You can use below :
select count(*) from table into variable
endselect.
Thanks,
Sriram Ponna.

You could always analyze the tables:
declare
begin
for X in (select owner, table_name from all_tables
             minus
            select owner, table_name from all_external_tables) LOOP
      dbms_stats.Gather_Table_Stats(X.Owner, X.Table_Name) ;
end loop;
end;
/Then: Select Owner, Table_Name, Num_Rows from All_Tables ;

Count the number of records between two key values (BTREE)

How can I count the number of keys between two values?
I'm using python driver, and BTREE access method.
====>
ideally what I want is to average a whole time-series data set (the intervals can change) to a given number of points. The keys are the time stamps and the values are the data that needs to be averaged. I need to count the number of records between two time stamps so that I can divide that number by the number of points i need, and average the data. What is the best way to do this? Or should I just keep the intervals for the time stamp constant and use RECNO access method?
Thank you
(first post btw.. and why aren't there many people in stackoverflow who answer Berkeley DB questions?)

BDB is an embedded db and it does not have any internal counters or statistics that you could grap to use for this. You will need to do it manually.
You can create a cursor, grap the records you want, each time you get the next record you bump a counter.
If you are using RECNO, you can use a cursor to get the record number of the record (DB_GET_RECNO), and if all you data is in
sequentail records with no missing records you can figure out the total count by take last rec # - initial rec # + 1 to get a total count.
If you switch over to the SQL API, you can issue a SQL query to give you a count. Select count(*) Where .......
Since you have to grab the data anyway, then best may be to count records as you go along.
thanks
