Appending a record in an internal table while debugging

Hi gurus,
i am trying to add one record in a internal table at run time in debugging mode. i am adding the same record which is already exist in that internal table to test for some scenarios.after adding adn once if i click save, all the data i have entered is going and only the document number staying there. cant we add a record in debugging. if so where did i do mistake. thanks in advance,
santosh.

hi
yes u can add records in internal table in debugging mode.
switch to the classical debugger . double click on the internal table and press append button.
then add the first field value and then press enter ...then double click on the parallel line below the next field which will take u to input the next field enter value and press on the pencil. u need not press save.
to append next line press append button again and append in similar way.

How to find list of internal tables while debugging

Hi Experts,
I am debugging a block of an ABAP program( User Exit ). Is there any facility to see what are the internal tables, work areas are available for that particular block? Can I see it new debugger? Because I don't know from which internal table I can take a particular value, which I need to populate in an user exit.
Thanks and regards,
Venkat.

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...

How to delete records from dynamic internal table.

Hi Experts,
Need urgent help!!!
Issue is with Dynamic internal tables.
Below is code written by me :
FORM select_query USING Lw_tabnam
                  TYPE t682i-kotabnr.
DATA : lw_line TYPE REF TO data,
          lw_line1 TYPE REF TO data.
    CREATE DATA Lw_line    TYPE (lw_TABNAM).
    ASSIGN      Lw_line->* TO   <WA_tbl>.
    CREATE DATA LW_LINE    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (Lw_tabnam)
                           WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
    ASSIGN      Lw_line->* TO <TBL>.
    SELECT * FROM (Lw_tabnam)
             INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <TBL>
             WHERE (t_keys).
Endform.
code is working fine.
here even the table name and where condition are dynamic,everything is fine upto this point.
Now i have to delete some record from <TBL> based on some conditons.
     for ex : ( here lc_fieldname is KUNNR)
      loop at t_kunnr.
          lw_tabix = sy-tabix.
        Read table <tbl>
                with key (lc_fieldname) = t_kunnr-kunnr ASSIGNING <wa_tbl>.
        If sy-subrc = 0.
        *Delete
        delete <tbl> from <wa_tbl>
delete <tbl> index lw_tabix.
        Endif.
     Endloop.
The above delete statement doesn't work ,even we can't use index as it gives a syntax error " something related to "index is not allowed in standard table or hash table.
Can you help me ab't how to delete records in Dynamic internal table?
Other option that i am thinking of is to create a static table of type dynamic table.
means, data itab type standard table of <tbl> .I know the syntax is wrong ,however is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance ,
If you have any suggestion ab't this then do let me know.
bye,
Gaurav.

Hi
I wrote this code and it works fine:

               <WA>    TYPE ANY.
CREATE DATA LW_LINES TYPE TABLE OF (LW_TABNAM)
WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
ASSIGN LW_LINES->* TO <TABLE>.
CREATE DATA LW_LINE TYPE (LW_TABNAM).
ASSIGN LW_LINE->* TO <WA>.
DO 10 TIMES.
APPEND INITIAL LINE TO <TABLE>.
ENDDO.
SY-TABIX = 4.
DELETE <TABLE> INDEX SY-TABIX.
WRITE SY-SUBRC.
I hope it help you

Maximum record length in internal table?

Is there a maximum record length in an internal table? Please note: My question is NOT related to table space. I'm referring only to the length of an individual record (A.K.A. row length).
I am using a work area to insert data into an internal table. Both the work area and internal table are defined by the same structure.
The structure has a total length of 672 bytes. For the sake of this discussion I'll point out that at the end of the structure, bytes 669, 670, 671, and 672 are four separate fields of 1 character each.
When viewing the work area record in the debugger I'm seeing all the fields and all the values. When viewing the internal table in the debugger after a record is inserted, the internal table ends with the field defined at Byte 670. The internal table does not include the two fields defined at Bytes 671 and 672.
Am I to assume from the above explanation that the length of a record ( A.K.A. row) in an internal table cannot exceed 670 bytes?
Thank you.

Manish,
False alarm! While, technically, you didn't answer my question, your request for code ended up helping me answer my own question.
To provide you with some code I wrote a simple test program using the record layout referred to above, with a DO loop to put some records into the internal table, followed by a LOOP AT, with accompanying WRITE statements to display the contents of the internal table and demonstrate that the last two fields weren't being stored.
However, when I ran the test program, the last two fields were being displayed.
It was at that point, when stepping through the debugger that I noticed the scroll arrows above the last column of my internal table that allowed me to scroll to the right and see my final two fields.
Apparently, because of the large number of fields in my internal table I had reached the default display length of the debugger. While I was obviously aware of the scroll bar found at the bottom of the display, I had never worked with an internal table of that width in the past and hadn't even noticed the scroll arrows above the last column before.
Thanks for taking the time to respond helping me get to the solution.

@Inserting Records in an Internal Table

Hi,
How can I Insert records in an internal table..such that i can insert the records somewhere in the middle based on the entry in a field?

INSERT wa INTO TABLE itab INDEX idx .
Effect
This variant can only be used for standard tables and sorted tables. Each line line_spec to be inserted into the line before the table index idx and the table index of the following lines is increased by one. A data object of the type i is expected for idx.
If idx contains a value equal to the number of the existing table lines plus one, the new line is appended as the last line in the internal table. If idx contains a greater value, no line is inserted and sy-subrc is set to 4.
An exception that cannot be handled is raised when:
idx contains a value less than or equal to 0
A line to be inserted would cause a duplicate entry in tables with a unique table key
A line to be inserted would disrupt the sort order of sorted tables
Within a LOOP loop, you can omit the addition INDEX. Each line to be inserted is inserted before the current table line of the LOOP loop. However, if the current line is deleted in the same loop pass, the response is undefined.

Spilt the number of records in a internal table

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)

Delete records in a internal table

I Have an ALV in which I have selected several lines to delete (icon "-").
The method get_selected_rows returns the index of the selected lines.
In a loop I try to delete the lines of the internal table by the index. But I have a problem because when I delete a line, the index number is updated, therefore the second record that I try to delete doesn´t work because the index has changed.
does there exist the possibility that the index is not updated?
Thanks

hi
try to delete like this
loop at itab
delete itab
endloop
it deletes all the records in the internal table
outside of the loop
delete itab index 2 -
> it deletes the record of index 2
put it into the while or do while
i =1.
while i < 5
i = i+ 1.
delete itab index i.
endwhile.
it deletes 5 records in the internal table

Summarizing records in a internal table

hi
what is meant by summarizing records in an internal table
vamsi

HI
please go through this:
u will get some idea.
Appending Summarized Lines
The following statement allows you to summate entries in an internal table:
COLLECT <wa> INTO <itab>.
<itab> must have a flat line type, and all of the fields that are not part of the table key must have
a numeric type (F, I, or P). You specify the line that you want to add in a work area that is
compatible with the line type.
When the line is inserted, the system checks whether there is already a table entry that matches
the key. If there is no corresponding entry already in the table, the COLLECT statement has the
same effect as inserting the new line [Page 282]. If an entry with the same key already exists, the
COLLECT statement does not append a new line, but adds the contents of the numeric fields in
the work area to the contents of the numeric fields in the existing entry.
You should only use the COLLECT statement if you want to create summarized tables. If you
use other statements to insert table entries, you may end up with duplicate entries.
Lines are added to internal tables as follows:
Standard tables
If the COLLECT statement is the first statement to fill the standard table, the system
creates a temporary hash administration that identifies existing entries in the table. The
hash administration is retained until another statement changes the contents of key fields
or changes the sequence of the lines in the internal table. After this, the system finds
existing entries using a linear search. The runtime for this operation increases in linear
relation to the number of existing table entries. The system field SY-TABIX contains the
index of the line inserted or modified in the COLLECT statement.
Sorted tables
The system uses a binary search to locate existing lines. The runtime for the operation
increases logarithmically with the number of existing lines. The system field SY-TABIX
contains the index of the line inserted or modified in the COLLECT statement.
Hashed tables
The system finds existing lines using the hash algorithm of the internal table. After the
COLLECT statement, the system field SY-TABIX has the value 0, since hashed tables
have no linear index.
Example
DATA: BEGIN OF LINE,
COL1(3) TYPE C,
COL2(2) TYPE N,
COL3 TYPE I,
END OF LINE.
DATA ITAB LIKE SORTED TABLE OF LINE
WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY COL1 COL2.
BC - ABAP Programming SAP AG
Appending Summarized Lines

LINE-COL1 = 'abc'. LINE-COL2 = '12'. LINE-COL3 = 3.
COLLECT LINE INTO ITAB.
WRITE / SY-TABIX.
LINE-COL1 = 'def'. LINE-COL2 = '34'. LINE-COL3 = 5.
COLLECT LINE INTO ITAB.
WRITE / SY-TABIX.
LINE-COL1 = 'abc'. LINE-COL2 = '12'. LINE-COL3 = 7.
COLLECT LINE INTO ITAB.
WRITE / SY-TABIX.

Filtering records from one internal table based on ranges in another itab

Hi guys,
I have 1 internal table with set of GL accounts. I have 2nd internal table where lower interval and upper interval of GL accounts
How to filter out records from 1 internal table by comparing with the GL account ranges present in 2nd internal table.
Please reply.

Hi
Create a RANGE for GL Accounts.
LOOP the second Internal Table.
And assign HIGH & LOW to ranges from second ITAB.
And Delete the accounts which are not there in the range.
Use the below code as reference.
DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF mara WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: r_matnr TYPE RANGE OF matnr WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM mara INTO TABLE itab UP TO 10 ROWS.
r_matnr-sign = 'I'.
r_matnr-option = 'BT'.
r_matnr-low = '000000000016900036'.
r_matnr-high = '000000000016900040'.
APPEND r_matnr.
DELETE itab WHERE matnr NOT IN r_matnr.

How to collect similar record from the internal table

I need to collect exact matched records from 1 internal table to another internal table by searching 5 fields. I need to have records which are exactly matched for 5 fields. i have written a code wich is mention below it gave me only similar records but not 100% matched record.. would you like to help me. any correction, suggetion,. Will be great help to me.

To get exact match of 5 records, do as follows.
Check whether internal table gives only one record or not after READ statement.If internal table gives more than one entry for READ then the results will be improper.
I think there is no need of READ statement on same internal table within LOOP. I commented the same in code.
sort i_bp_p by title initials name_last idnumber idtype f50code rbcode. "acc_num.
loop at i_bp_p into wa_i_bp_p.
*lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
*read table i_bp_p index lv_tabix into wa_i_bp_p.read table i_but0id into wa_but0id with key idnumber = wa_i_bp_p-idnumber
idtype = wa_i_bp_p-idtype binary search.
if sy-subrc = 0.
read table i_but000 into wa_but000 with key title = wa_i_bp_p-title
initials = wa_i_bp_p-initials
name_last = wa_i_bp_p-name_last binary search.
if sy-subrc = 0.
read table i_but0is into wa_but0is with key f50code = wa_i_bp_p-f50code
rbcode = wa_i_bp_p-rbcode binary search.
if sy-subrc = 0.
move-corresponding wa_i_bp_p to i_bp_p100.

Count number of records in a internal table

hi
i want to count number of records in internal table
pls let me know how to count the number of records in a internal table.
regards
Arora

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.
reward points if useful.

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

Calcullating no. of records in an internal table based on condition

Hi,
i have several records in an internal table. i need to calculate the number of records which meets a condition. is there any simple logic to find the records which meet the required criteria apart from looping into the internal table.
your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
kranthi.

Hi,
U can use sy-dbcnt after the select querry.

end of ty_mara.
DATA: i_mara TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_mara.
DATA: v_cnt like sy-dbcnt.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr FOR MARA-matnr.
SELECT matnr from mara into table i_mara.
if sy-subrc = 0.
v_cnt = sy-dbcnt.
